It's not that simple though. The assumption that no profile means sRGB
is made in many more places. The Image Properties dialog for example
will show you "sRGB built-in" for an image that has no profile attached.

The current behavior was proposed and accepted on this mailing-list
before color management was added to GIMP. Of course it can be changed
now, but such a change needs a complete proposal then that covers all
places that are affected by it.

The point of the current behavior is that you need to make an assumption
if no profile is attached to an image. Otherwise you could not even
display this image. Without a color profile or an assumption about the
meaning of the RGB values it's just numbers.
