I too thought that "--graph" should make "--oneline" the default
back when I originally accepted the patch series that introduced the
"--graph" feature, but with frequent use of "--graph" myself, I
stopped being sure that "--oneline" should be the default long time
ago. I find that the default level of prettiness goes reasonably
well with the "--graph" option.
This would be something that needs a long transition period if
somebody really wants to force people to adapt to it. I am not sure
if the complication is worth it.
