The question is really:

What's wrong with what I consider the default?

Which is a slightly rude question, as it presupposes that
everyone will consider it the default answer.

Any number of replies can be made, starting with:

- I didn't know about that. What's good about it?

- I knew about that and wanted to know if there was something
  superior.

- I don't consider that a good default. What makes it good here?

- I don't consider that a good choice at all

and so on.
