Having VFO B set to another band is a user choice (VFO IND).

Your change would force excess keystrokes (or knob twisting) vs. the
current condition. You save one keypress (tap A>B) to synchronize
VFOs when initially selecting split but cause synchronization of the
VFOs every time Split is turned On/Off which results in any previously
set split when for example checking another frequency/pile-up/band.
If you want a function that sets split and synchronizes the VFOs,
use one of the programmable (macro) keys ... there have been several
examples of "quick split" macros posted.
