Methinks thou doest take too much for granted.
Yes, serial has it's purpose, but I sincerely doubt it is "the default
primary key amongst every single web development environment in
existence"
I am not sure where you get your stats from. Probably you are referring
to "Ruby on Rails". IMHO,
Rails
Anything that uses Hibernate (Java)
Django
Every PHP framework
Pyramid
Anything that uses sql-alchemy
I can go on for miles with this. It is true that a lot of these
support non-serial keys. It is also true that is not the default.

I came to the idea of using surrogate primary keys long before I knew
anything about the software on the above list or anything similar!
