The best reason I've got is that making something final is a breaking 
change, while making something virtual is not. That means:

(with virtual by default) If you write a library and forget to make a 
function final, you're stuck with it.

(with final by default) If you write a library and forget to make a 
function virtual, you just fix it.

Of course not. But see above.

I am absolutely certain some people are not aware of the dangers.
