That way you could add whoever was allowed to access your files. To be picky, not you, but the admin:-P To be picky;-) you can really change that yourself:
I know I can change it and have done so in the past. My concern is having a user's home directory open to others by default. It's sort of like removing the curtains from your bedroom. ;-)
Your home directory is always open to others, I would never trust permissions for "security" reasons. It's to simple to overcome them. If you have important or expensive data, encrypt them.
