Public bug reported:

The main reason being it's what previous Ubuntu/nautilus users are 
expecting/used to & is a bit 'cleaner'
Additional reasons to consider are it's no a menu or gui pref's option so only 
can be changed in dconf (editor or gsettings) which won't be apparent to most 
users.
Those wishing to have set to false will likely know how to do so

While only  a 1 word source edit could just as well be done in the
nautilus.gschema.override, i'd suspect adding this would suffice.

[org.gnome.nautilus.preferences]
sort-directories-first=true
