I doubt they will change the default option (since they can't guarantee the

@Fletcher Dunn - can you not make a compromise that would work for both of us?
I think having a notification/box pop up upon opening the quickplay after
having play X hours with default filters set - to alert the user if they wish
to expand their search filter to find community servers as well as valve
servers (with an easy yes/no button).
