I'm a bit hazy about this, but I believe that org-tempo got introduced after this commit: https://code.orgmode.org/bzg/org-mode/commit/13424336a6f30c50952d291e7a82906c1210daf0 This was a few years ago. There was even a discussion thread on this list that showed preference to make that change. https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-orgmode/2017-10/msg00449.html
