I would appreciate if it were possible for the user to select a default

My authors mostly access their topics either via the CCMS or from
hotlinked PDFs which launch XMLmind and open their target topic from the
CCMS; they very rarely go in from the ditamap, partly because the
ditamap is often huge.
With the current XMLmind setup, an author going through a set of topic
has to either re-select his profile every time he opens a topic, or else
open the ditamap, load the ditamap into the Navigation Pane, and then
select a .profile file….and do that every time they start an authoring
session.
In my environment, authors tend to stay on projects for months at a
time, so being able to simply select a .profile and stick with it would
be very nice.
This feature existed in the first version of the "Easy Profiling" add-on
but was removed in v6.3. See "Incompatibilities" in
http://www.xmlmind.com/xmleditor/changes.html#v6.3.0
OK. What you told us is convincing.
We also know at least one other use case where this feature could be
useful: use the "Easy Profiling" add-on to give distinct styles to the
@status attribute depending on its value: new, changed, deleted.
That's why we'll restore this feature in next version of XMLmind XML
Editor, that is, v7.1.

You may not like some of these changes ("Navigation panes have been
suppressed").
