(My opinion: That should be default layout.)
The opinion of the main LilyPond developers is to use hand-engraved
scores by the main German publishers as the inpiration when deciding on
the layout, see for example

If you can find many such examples in your music library that supports your
opinion, then you have a good basis to request such a change. Otherwise,
I'm afraid
that you have to accept that the current layout remains the default in
LilyPond.
As you have seen, it's possible to modify the layout as you wish and
it's even possible to
write a few lines of Scheme code to get a solution that automatically
can handle all
time signatures.
