When one copies the filter from a combinator to a pipe, they almost never want it to consume fluid: they are setting the inputs of a subfactory. Manually changing the settings can become very tedious when done often.
If the pipes were by default set to 100% (or, if you desire the possibility of pipe consumers to remain open, 50%) then the tedium of manually setting pipe filters would be eliminated.
