Sorry, I misunderstood.
Why do you think we should especially use LM and not TeXGyre or one of the various other beautiful fonts? There's no special reason to prefer LM over others. So we'll let the default font the default one - CM.
In that case you shouldn't use the T1 font encoding by default, because then you are not using CM!
Unless the user doesn't have CM-Super, in which case you're using the original bitmap CM fonts -- which is even worse these days.
That means when you want a document without any font handling commands, you get it. If you want a font, select one and then it's up to you how the result looks and you are aware of that selecting a different font leads to a different output.
So you don't think it's confusing to have *three* choices in the list of fonts that look, on casual inspection, exactly the same? And rather un-helpful to have AE when LM is the same but better in every way?
