Miles Bader. He wrote this in reply to your original post:

I'm pretty sure it's deliberate, though I can't give a good rationale
for it (I think it's stupid and annoying behavior), nor find a NEWS
entry for it.... However I recall people talking about it on
emacs-devel as if it were a feature.
----------------
(i guess it's too late to propose inverting the mode of the feature on
emacs-devel? i'd just copy this posting over there, asking if
it's worth
reopening the discussion. i wouldn't want to do that, though,
if the discussion
ended on a conclusive pronouncement that even dismissed
revisiting in the event
of complaints...)
I would say to go ahead and say what you think to emacs-devel. If someone
finds that inappropriate, s?he will say so.
