Other OSen do not have xterm-color, though (as has already been
mentioned, Solaris), so this breaks as soon as you ssh to one of these
remote machines. As someone who runs Solaris servers from a FreeBSD
desktop I do this a lot.

If you tried to make this the default you'd get a lot of very annoyed
people.
