Ah but then if [change] used null by default, it wouldn't actually work by default ... that seems far worse then the reasonable default of 0.

Well, if it is me... yes, I would like to have NULL as init value.

If it had _originally_ defaulted to null and had a "reset" message or something to return it to null state, that would be the reasonable behavior. Especially if Pd had a (sensible) user-facing API to check for existence of floatargs instead of bashing them to zero, because then the user wouldn't always take for granted that no floatarg probably means "0".
But the null behavior can be achieved with a relatively painless hack, and amending [change] would break patches and create more complexity so I wouldn't argue to change that behavior now.
