I understand your point, but this is really splitting hairs. In this case I think the default is fine because it is not a security issue (if you have console access). If you still don't like it you should change the default. Now, I know that changing PolicyKit related defaults is not easy at the moment. But that's an issue of man hours, finding someone willing to build a desktop tool that allows you to easily see current policies and create local ones on the fly.
