Wondering, maybe this should be the default behavior?

As @sunfishcode explained in the linked issue, we don't want this to be the default because it means that these functions pose a risk of becoming de-facto standardized. If modules start being used widely that export functions under names that future standards might want to use, then we'd risk behavior changing in weird and unexpected ways, so we'd likely be forced to choose different names.

This isn't a theoretical concern either: it's the reason why {String, Array}.prototype.includes} isn't called contains, to give just one example.
