why aren't people just defaulting to 2048?


They are, but someone set this up in 2016 or so, and nobody has changed it :) Most likely the person got laid off, or went somewhere else, and nobody on the team has any idea about it.


They are defaulting to 1024-2048. Systems signing with 512 bit keys are an outlier.
