The default directory for what?
When you login, applications look for data files in your home directory by
default. This is because you have full ownership of that directory and no
one else has full access to it. It can be safely assumed that your data
files are there. UNIX/Linux apps are designed with this assumption in mind.
If you want to use some other directory in the same way, you can change it
in /etc/passwd. But what's the point? You will need to have full access to
everything in the target directory too. You will end up with a directory
that looks and acts just like your original home directory. So why change?
