The most important reason was that an explicit default like script=latn will block any and all features in the font that depend on the default script, and whether that is latn or cyrl or arab etc. depends on the font. Phrased in another way: script=latn discriminates against other scripts and fonts. We are still searching for a better (=as automatic as possible) solution.
