Why is the default for a new publication Landscape please?

Why is the default for a new publication landscape please?

I have noticed that one needs to check a checkbox to get a portrait publication.

Yet for text, portrait seems a more likely default.

I am not suggesting changing it, I just wonder why that is the case as it seems counterintuitive.

I believe Affinity applications remember the last choice made. So if you start a new publication in portrait it should remember the next time.
