It's not about frivolity. It's about the Lisp programmer setting what
s/he considers a good default, and the user disagreeing with that
opinion and being able to override it without needing to resort to
advice or rewriting the function. Experience shows that, with regards
to frame/window/buffer customizations, no two Emacs users are alike.
