I think you are missing what Andreas points out: that
set-default-file-modes works via 'umask', which can only remove bits
from the default permissions, it cannot add bits.  I'm okay with
describing this in more details, for those might not be aware of how
'umask' works.  That would be a different text, though, not the one
you suggested.
You are right I don't know much about umask.
Probably most of the people using set-default-file-modes
OK, I added some text to the docs to clarify this.

Thank you, it looks more clear to me know.
There is a duplicated word:
+This function works by setting the Emacs's file mode creation mask.
+Each bit that is set in the mask means that the corresponding bit
+in the the permissions of newly created files will be disabled.
