We do not want to do this. Tutorials and documents will be written
assuming the official default, and those users who set it to use a
different default, only because they are told to use it before they
know better, would waste a lot of time wondering why the procedures
they read from tutorials and documents would not work for them.
Even an expert who is asked to help a novice, who has this variable
set, would end up getting confused becaue "git restore" without the
explict options does not work as they expect.
Individual users are welcome to use "[alias] ri = restore --staged"
and this will hurt nobody.
