I agree with both of you, but I think the concept of default subvolume is fairly natural and does not make things more confusing. When I pause to think about this, I know that the root subvolume is "just a subvolume", but by default I think of the the root subvolume as the partition itself and the other subvolumes as less important. So elevating the root subvolume to be the default subvolume feels right.
