This is indeed the default setting as expressed in
'scm/time-signature-settings.scm'.  What did you expect as default?
(4 4)?  I suppose the dev that implemented it has considered (3 3 2)
to be more common.  And I would tend to agree (although 8/8 is not very
common, so it is not that easy to choose a default).

You can change it simply with

  \overrideTimeSignatureSettings
        #'(8 . 8)  % timeSignatureFraction
        #'(1 . 8)  % baseMomentFraction
        #'(4 4)    % beatStructure
        #'()       % beamExceptions

or

  \set Timing.beatStructure = #'(4 4)
