Why "Application" not "Bundle" default Script Editor doctype?

I ALWAYS want to save my scripts as "Application Bundle" and NEVER as "Application" because I have found that (1) "Applications" are PowerPC and launch slowly due to Rosetta and (2) if I email an AppleScript "Application" document to someone, without zipping it, it will arrive as a Classic application, which many people (who no longer have Classic) won't be able to run.

So why is it that when I create a new script in Script Editor, the default document type is "Application" instead of "Application Bundle". ARGHHH!!!! I frequently forget to change it. Is there any way to change Script Editor's default document type to "Application Bundle"? I can't find any such setting where it should be (Preferences).
