That's true. On large files, this is not the best set-up. But I assume
anyone opening very large Org files is able to configure Org to their
liking.
On small files, e.g., a couple of screens high, this is a decent value,
however. But, more importantly, this is the least surprising value.
I think it is not uncommon for an Emacs user to open an Org file without
knowing about this major mode, e.g., if a project provides a README.org
file. This change is (mostly) for them, not for you, or me.

You can voice your opinion in the thread, which is not closed. I hope
the Org community can find a consensus about this change.
