It used to be and might still be. This is a preference
that you can set.  If a default installation doesn't
have that as the default it's probably because someone
else argued that the default should be for lines to
connect to polys. Go figure.

Well, before the poly exists, or before any lines
connect to it, how do you know what net it belongs to?

If the net is unknown, it would mean no polygons could
ever connect to anything - they begin life not
belonging to any net so all nets would be prohibited
from connecting to them.
