That would make it differ from every other dialogue box in the known Universe, is one thing.

You mean like the one Finder (X.3.2) presents when you try to copy/move an item into a folder that already has an item with the same name, then one with a Replace button and a Stop button, and NO DEFAULT button?

I would prefer the default to be the "do what I just asked you to do" button: if I'm using a computer and tell it to perform some action it's almost exclusively because I wanted it to perform some action.

I agree >100% on this point. The computer is my tool, it's not its job to second guess me.
