It's less counter-intuitive, but the problem is that it breaks a lot of existing tools that expect that the global kernel settings actually work. Note that this was discussed recently already here, but rejected: https://github.com/systemd/systemd/issues/1411 Thus at least CoreOS and Ubuntu now change the default to "kernel", which pretty much DTRT. (I'm still pondering doing that in Debian too). If you don't explicitly configure it in your .network then the global setting is applied, and as that defaults to 0 the "secure by default" aspect is also satisfied.
