Unintended Sharing Of Messages

I have a question for the engineers at Apple. Under what circumstances do you think it’s useful to have a person’s text notifications shared across all of their devices? That’s like broadcasting their private phone calls on the public address system at the mall. Why would you design a system where this is the default setup and users have to disable a bunch of options to turn it off?
