I don't understand either, and it feels like a bug.

I have long been in favor of having the defaults make the map that a
user of a reasonably modern device (oregon, etrex 30, etc.) would want,
if they understood the options.  It seems like index/route should be on
by default, and there can be --no-index for devices where that causes
trouble.
