Good question: within the user population, what fraction uses A4 and what fraction uses US letter?
Given SUSEs European roots, I would venture a guess and say there probably are more SUSE-users in Europe than in North-America and Canada.
But who knows, aside from the SuSE sales department?
You have to set the time zone explicitly, so why not the paper size?
Perhaps because timezone varies a lot more than paper-size? But it's a good question - I'm sure the default paper-size could be set under YAST somewhere.
I believe you can -- but you should be asked explicitly to set it when you do an install. If the default were US letter, you'd want that question asked at installation, wouldn't you? Paul
