I think this is explained in excruciating detail.  The short version
(from NEWS):

"mode 0700 provides both the most secure, unsurprising default"
[...]
And the claim that this is "most unsurprising" (less surprising?) is
obviously false. "No change" is always less surprising than any change,
whatever the rationale is.

It can also be unsurprising from an end-user's perspective. For someone new to the system. So that line of argument does not really hold.

Kind regards
