This is part of the sample project's configuration.
See ${nb-install}/java/modules/org-netbeans-modules-java-examples.jar
-> org/netbeans/modules/java/examples/anagrams.zip
-> nbproject/project.properties:

javac.source=1.6
javac.target=1.6

"New project" just creates a copy of the sample project, including project 
configuration, and doesn't change anything.

I think it makes sense, when copying, to keep the source level that the sample 
project was originally created with, because otherwise a newer source level 
could result in compiler warnings or even errors. It might make sense to update 
the sample projects themselves to Java 1.8, though.
