Sure, and if code supports it, then sure. But right now, in the transitional phase, most clients don't support 1.0, and a fair few plugins don't either. Setting the preferred version to 1.0 would basically preclude building an image altogether. I can see the argument for sure, but I think it makes a lot of sense -- it's no small change, from 0.10.0 seven years ago (!) -- and there's precedent in, e.g. clutter-1.8. I'm all for removing 0.10 when it's no longer useful, but that time is definitely not now.
