In fact, most programs don't. This is why /etc/rc.serial exists, so that default parameters for each serial port can be set. If you had a high speed modem and tried using it with tip/cu, CRTSCTS would not be enabled, and because the modems weren't handshaking, you'd end up with a lot of lost data and other nastiness due to the high modem speed.
