How about on a single-interface system? Maybe Wireshark should at least
select the only listed interface as the default on a single-interface
system. That IS going to be the interface that the user selects before
each capture. On a multiple interface system, I can see the logic of
either method--either selecting the first interface or selecting no
interface if the user has not specified a default. Neither method is
clearly superior and the choice of which should be implemented is a
matter of opinion.
