what you or i prefer don't matter

the ordinary user never uses yum/dnf at all and most of them just
react on the "new updates are available" in the GUI - fine that
runs completly in the background - there is no slower/faster
in that context and most ohters case about *fresh* metadata
and not previously cached ones

however, it's even not worth to get angry about another
wrong default decision and i juest fix the settings at
my own
