I meditated but couldn't find a special reason, do you know any?
Simple, because noone found it interesting enough to actually sit down and write a patch. That's how perl5 development works. New features don't get added if enough people want them. New features get added if one person wants it badly enough to write a patch.
So, if you want push to accept a default second argument, write a patch and submit it. I'm not in charge, so I won't have a final say whether it will get in, but if you have the patch, you'll have a pretty good chance. Without the patch and just the wish, chances are almost non-existant.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).

or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
