Well, I'd argue this because "default new-account currency" and
"default new-transaction currency" should be the same...  And
using this currency makes it easier for a user of gnucash to
change that currency on the fly.  They only need to change a
preference, rather than changing their locale and restarting
gnucash.

Ideally, eventually, this setting should move to a data file property.
But that's something for another day.
