Thanks Hans for your attention!
The problem of such an usual default is also with newcomers who would not know about this feature in ConTeXt: when one writes maths one would not guess that typing an inequality like $n < -1$ would end up in $n \leftarrow 1$. And writing such inequalities is very common… while \leftarrow is used seldom in a mathematical text.
So I think having the default collapsing=1 would be more logical, and more in line with the spirit of TeX.
I hope Aditya will be convinced…
Best regards: OK
