It's not clear that the original design choice was made in full knowledge of the problems that have been exposed since then. We could ask Juanma, who added desktop-restore-in-current-display in 2013, so I'll CC Juanma. This problem of Emacs freezing has been a recurring one; see, e.g., the thread that starts here: https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-devel/2013-12/msg00472.html It's quite bad for Emacs to freeze, so it may make sense to change the default in this area even if defaulting to t is suboptimal in some other way.
