A few people have mentioned setting 'wildmenu'. I also have that set.
I wonder if there are real disadvantages to setting it by default?

Keep in mind that most of these defaults are for options that new users
would not even know about. It's possible that a few users don't like it
and have to disable it in their .vimrc. So long as that number is
small (less than 1%?) that would be an acceptable price for helping new
users enjoying Vim more.
