This is quite short-sighted:

It's not only the work of writing a compiler switch.
You also have to *know* (think) about it.
There are so many compiler switches and if we end up
with the situation that all new users have to spend a
day to make their program work as the grandious feature
list of some FPC page told them then something is wrong.

Those who are already familiar with all the details have
much less work to just add a compiler switch to their
existing projects (if needed) and it would be necessary
only once on a certain FPC version when this default
changes.

Now we need to tell each new user that he has to change
the (default) settings to get a "modern" Pascal compiler
because "out of the box" it is a very old one.
