Because functionally it is the most efficient, practical, and preferred way to set it.

XTG was not perfect (although IMO as close as it ever got under DOS) and in those cases where it can be improved with a subtle "tweak" such as the changing of the "small file window access" *default* it should be.

Your statement answers your own question of why the default should be changed from that of XTG. I would bet that you would not find more than 1 out of 100 that have tried both options that would not change it to "bypass". And that 1 person can always change the option - isn't Ztree beautiful that way!?
