Perhaps to get better results on benchmarks.

Or you know, just better performance for people that know how to use their tool of choice.

  • Wouldn't such people just pass in

      maintain_order=False
    
    ?

    • That’s an API design question. What is the more common use case.

      You seem to suggest they did it for benchmarking reasons only. They could use the option there themselves without changing the default so that is unlikely to be the motivation.
