What prevented users from adding the default font as the first font in their fontset? Wouldn't that have achieved exactly the same (pick the character from the default font if available, and otherwise from the next one in the fontset)? The intent was for Emacs to DTRT _by_default_, without asking users to customize their fontsets. Doing the latter is somewhat tricky, and besides it's considered a Good Thing for a program to behave as users expect out of the box.
