Any particular reason? (Except that it's different from what
we're used to?)

Try it - you might like it!

I guess we can add it as a non-default to let people try it out
without forcing them to. But long-term, I dislike too many
options, and prefer picking the best defaults. And obviously
I think this makes for a nicer interface.

As I said: Try it in your tree. It's a simple, localized patch.
It can of course be modified to only work where it makes most
sense. Candidates include list, print, and [e]xamine. The step
commands also work nicely with this feature.
