The default value is set to 160 for a reason. The reason being that that is what the original iOS used. Android even went as far as specifying what they call -density independent pixels- DIPS, which are specified as pixels at 160 DPI.

Our devices (N9, N950) have a default DPI of 240 and we do not need this modification.

Changing to another default is just going to break all pages designed with 160 in mind (most mobile pages), so I do not see how this is going to help with anything. 

So so far I am not convinced this is the right thing to do.
