I am not so sure about the original paragraph becoming default layout.
I guess it is not uncommon to replace the content of a paragraph by
something else while cutting its content before the replacement.
(Libre office, for example, does not set the paragraph to default
either.)
Furthermore, I guess the only difference between delete and cut should
be that the latter moves stuff into the clipboard. At least that is how
it works in my experience.
In some sense, the semantics of your original proposal is "selecting the
whole paragraph selects the layout too". In this sense, the layout could
be deleted with Delete too.
I understand this might be too much or inconvenient at times, but we
should definitely not go towards complicated semantics that are supposed
to do the right thing according to what we believe the user is doing. I
really dislike when I have to fight against office 2010 "guessing" what
I am wanting to do.
My point is that I would prefer to have a semantics of what happens that
can be explained on one sentence rather than many ad-hoc behaviors. It
is like the code that removes leading spaces of paragraphs of #10503.
Somebody probably had a use case in mind when implementing what seems so
stupid to us today.
