Some newly introduced options are deliberately left off by default to avoid drastic changes in the default behavior (that would surprise users) or if we are uncertain whether users will like them. It is true we could leave it off by default temporarily, then ask people to try it and do a poll. But if it isn't ultimately enabled by default, it will be mostly a failure.
