Exact ! Are exactly the same !!
this demonstrate beyond doubts that current defaults are wrong.
Should be obvious that the pen tool , the brush tool and the clone and healing tools are different tools with a different use ...and so they require 3 quite different defaults
NOTE , Default is very important for the first impression of a tool or filter
If default is bad chosen the first user sensation will be of a crappy or cryptic tool
on the contrary better chosen default may give a good impression of a even buggy tool
I may well understand that developer have no time for "the search for the best defaults" but maybe is here that users may help developers

That is correct,in general
In the particular cases is just needed to use a animated "star" brush on a dark BG to guess its possible use...populate the sky of stars , similar but not identical
Same for "grass or stones" animated brushes
I see a different problem:
Is too difficult browsing brushes notice that there are 4 quite different types of of brushes mixed :
1 normal (Greyscale gbr that use FG and BG colors)
2 colored (RGB gbr with their own colours)
3 "nozzles" (or tubes, gih as you prefer call them)
4 Procedural
Obviously without guessing that the chosen brush is a "nozzle" may be hard use it at best, same for procedural brushes
Is missed a clear visible hints to distinguish ... for this tagging should help if not solve
