default-frame-alist is for everyone, i.e. "for Emacs". Not just for
you and me.

That's you. Me, I type "C-x 5 2" whenever I need another frame,
regardless of the frame that happens to be selected at that time.
With your suggestion, I'll need to think which frame I want to select
before making a new one. That's a disadvantage for me.

A frame parameter can be anything at all. Cloning all of them
sometimes makes little sense. You yourself gave an example: the
position of the frame.

But it makes no sense to talk about the return value in interactive
use, does it?
