Why doesn't it start with the last active connection?
I suspect that for 99% of the users this will be the most common case.

Also, why does it wait 10s before it tries to connect to anything?

Indeed I have a

    iface eth0 inet dhcp

in there.  But removing it doesn't seem to make any difference in this
respect (even after `systemctl restart NetworkManager`).

I never touched those, but yes I now see that they are exactly like yours.
