For the nine millionth time, it has nothing to do with Emacs. Here's what it comes down to: you want the default to be optimised for the X server locking up or crashing in such a way that it needs to be force-killed, knowing that most of the people who make use of that are perfectly capable of creating a configuration file; whereas the people who don't know what it is or does or how to create a configuration file, have to create a configuration file. No. EOT.
