Why aren't "Masters" plans the default?

At least part is the following pulled from the link above:

Weโ€™ve made two specific updates to these base plans.
First, weโ€™ve renamed โ€œSweet Spot Baseโ€ to "General Base . "Sweet Spot base wasnโ€™t descriptive of what was encompassed in the plan, and led to confusion.

Second, weโ€™ve changed the work-to-recovery ratio from 5:1 to 3:1. This means youโ€™ll get a recovery week every fourth week in your general base plan.

Sunday Endurance
Sunday rides in both Masters Plans and our normal plans have switched from sweet spot rides to endurance rides.

This gives athletes less intensity and the opportunity to extend the duration of their Sunday aerobic ride if theyโ€™d like.
