This is the default that the gcc maintainers have chosen; I think I've read somewhere that a lot of prepackaged ARM Linux distributions also use this float format, so changing it could be quite disruptive. For most people, using an ARM kernel with an emulator will hopefully be good enough. In my particular situation though, I simply knew that I would build everything from scratch, for a machine without FPU hardware, so that was why I made a softfloat-by-default patch.
