Honestly I think having a default one is necessary for users to put their trust in the service. If there's no lemmy.world, another server will become the go to (it used to be lemmy.ml before world). People want to have their account on the instance all their friends have it on so that they'd never be alone in losing their account or the service being offline for them. And the bigger the instance, the more trustworthy it seems.

Lemmy.world has also been a tremendous help in debugging performance issues due to necessity.

As I said:

Getting a list of some instances (that are not as overcrowded) and assigning one at random by default would be the best way to go about it.

That... doesn't make sense.
