When this feature was introduced some years ago, there were some
communication about it asking for people to try it and give feedback. Based
on this feedback, we could then decide to change default or not. We didn't
receive any substantial feedback and my first impression back then is that
because JDT being a bit greedy in scheduling rules, changing default in the
IDE didn't make a difference back then. So it has remained as it.
If enough people are willing to try it in their workspace, verify it works
as expected, that it creates a performance gain, report any bug they face;
then we could decide to change the default based on that feedback.
