OK, though having a good default values impacts greatly on the security
of systems world-wide.

Normal users just install a software but don't configure.
This encourages hackers to attempt to hack users world-wide.
If hackers knew that a good default configurations are present by default 
(which greatly prevents attempts of brute-forcing) to everyone, then they will 
probably give up before trying...
