Subject: WG default routing

Hi
I am quite new to wireguard, moving after years of OpenVPN, and found it simple and _really good_.
One thing, however, makes me wonder. Why WG tries always to take over all my routing?
My first try was with wg-quick, and noticed all my traffic went through the WG-VPN connection.
It escapes me why. What is the idea behind this policy?
On my Linux boxes it's not a problem, I don't have to use wg-quick and with few lines of bash in a script I have what I need. I have root.
On my Android devices I don't have root, and I cannot change anything in routing etc.
Why don't you provide an option to specify which net to route which way?
Regards,
Chris
