OpenBSD is a general purpose OS.  There are lots of general purposes out
there. :)

All three of those are personal preference things.  You want them that
way, someone else might be much more interested in "sharing" files
between users rather than keeping files completely private by default.
These changes would break many people's expectations, and with the
exception of the last, are EASILY implemented with a siteXX.tgz file.

The last one could be more generally addressed with a adduser.local
script.  Of course, you could also just make a wrapper script that does
whatever you want to do to the users...which is probably even more
general.  For many apps, there are a LOT of things you might want to do
that adduser(8) doesn't cover, a custom script is probaby the best choice.
