I disagree with you about the way the web "should" work.
Don't you think God also invented difference of opinion between people?
Don't you think God also created the different opening options on the <a>
link?
Don't you think God also invented defaults?
Don't you think God allowed easy configuration of the things people want to
change in software?

This has been brought up before several times, and
vetoed each time.
This is not how the web should work; people are free to navigate as
desired, and so encouraging opening links in new windows is
ridiculous.
God invented middle-click for a reason.
