Personally as a user I would find it very annoying if all applications that do rotate didn't auto-rotate by default ;) Of course if there is the availability to set this in settings it is ok but for default behaviour personally I expect when trying out a new phone for apps to autorotate (when available). Forcing a user to choose rotation settings imho is not very user friendly.
For sure apps that do rotate should be available to be locked to a certain orientation (via the HUD?). Just my 1 cent.
