and if we had elliptic curve kex in ssh then you would keep the
default alone? what kind of logic is that?

rsa is also not just used for ssh, there might be implementations
out there that wont support rsa keys bigger than 2048 bits...

have you considered the impact at all?

whats the connecition establishment time with 2048 vs 4096 bit
rsa keys?

please do the homework.
