At the same time, the default settings have been tweaked by domain experts over decades to be reasonably good for the general case. Not everyone might be interested in shoving a a complex, un-tested, un-debugged learning algorithm into their kernel. Still, interesting proposal . . .

Yes, but look at default configurations such as those of Apache and Mysql - you'll find that the default settings have been finely honed for environments that were common ten years ago... Even settings need updating - optima are moving targets.
