Dave, I am curious. Have you ever, even once, changed your mind because of what someone has told you?

I guess you can interpret "many years" however you like, but the simple fact is, from the beginning and through the majority of the lifespan of Windows servers, this was not the default. And I don't think Windows would have been nearly as popular for servers if it had started out that way. The fact that things worked by default gave Windows market share.
