We could make it the default file format, but... 1. Some things in a Gnumeric file cannot be saved to ODS. 2. Interoperability would not really improve. Even when another program can read an ODS file it didn't create, the calculated results in the file generally will not agree. Semantics was left unspecified in the ODF spec. 3. There are performance issues with ODS because no-one thought of shared expressions.
