The defaults across installer and live media, and UEFI and BIOS, have
never been entirely consistent. I tried to line them up a bit a few
years ago but never got it fully done.

It's certainly a bug in my opinion that they're not consistent, but
it'd be better to come up with patches than just file a bug, I know
several people are aware of this, but it's just not filtered up to the
top of anyone's todo list at any point, I don't think.
