That would completely ruin the scriptability of almost all commands.
Imagine the user added the following options as default:
add --edit
checkout --patch
cherry-pick --no-commit
commit --amend
pull --rebase
I'm sure you can find one option that changes the command in something
completely different *for every command*.
In fact even pull --ff-only has the same problem since it will refuse
the merge in cases where an unmodified pull would go through.
