It's just one of the best masks if you care about speed, hit-rate, working efficient with multiple hash-type etc.
of course, the user should specify their own masks if they have some knowledge about the possible password / patterns etc.
The default one isn't always the best one, but it works quite good in many cases. The problem is just that a lot of users think without mask it's just a "brute-force" (the problem is that even this term is not very specific because it could mean --increment ?a?a?a?a?a?a?a?a or --increment ?b?b?b?b?b?b?b etc)
