I never wanted it to be the default.

Seriously, I never did!!!
Again, I'm not talking about the "average user", my opinion is that

There are ways to please everyone, debconf priority is one way. Why
can't the installer have more options for those who like them, and be

We should, if possible, not oppose ease of use, convenience, and the
features. We should aim at all of that! ;)
