It is possible to configure GRUB to work the way you argue against.
That can be useful for people with multi-boot systems who want to be
able simply reboot the current OS.
Instead of something like "default 0" to set the OS to be booted without
interaction, you have a line with "saved" to boot using the last OS, and
inside each title section you have a "savedefault" line so the system
remembers which one you chose.
e.g. From the GRUB info file:
default saved
timeout 10
title GNU/Linux
root (hd0,0)
kernel /boot/vmlinuz root=/dev/sda1 vga=ext
initrd /boot/initrd
savedefault
title FreeBSD
root (hd0,a)
kernel /boot/loader
savedefault
