Upstream has generally recommended against loading it by default, claiming the default sink should only be changed on user interaction.
It also kicks out possible role-based routing (i e, phone call on a USB headset and music on speakers).

That said, I do recognise that it solves a problem for you, I'm just not
that sure of whether or not it also causes problems for others.

Title:
  module-switch-on-connect should be on by default

Status in pulseaudio package in Ubuntu:
  Opinion

Bug description:
  bug #472697 claims that a particular device switched automatically
  even without module-switch-on-connect loaded.  I have a Blue Snowball
  microphone, and it does not auto-switch unless I have module-switch-
  on-connect added.

  I believe my default.pa was attached to this bug by apport, but I've
  used the back button a couple of times so it's possible that side-
  channel got dropped.  All I've done is add `load-module module-switch-
  on-connect` to the thing.
