It's not clear that the original design choice was made in full 
knowledge of the problems that have been exposed since then. We could 
ask Juanma, who added desktop-restore-in-current-display in 2013, so 
I'll CC Juanma.

This problem of Emacs freezing has been a recurring one; see, e.g., the 
thread that starts here:

https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-devel/2013-12/msg00472.html

It's quite bad for Emacs to freeze, so it may make sense to change the 
default in this area even if defaulting to t is suboptimal in some other 
way.
