Emphasis Animations

If the purpose of the emphasis animation feature is to draw the learner attention TO the element or location on the screen where the animation is occurring, wouldn't it make more sense to set the default Object Trigger settings to begin the animation when the object enters the slide on timeline, rather than current default that doesn't start the animation unless/until the learner selects the object?

I've applied this feature in several past projects and don't recall having to edit the trigger to change it from "When users clicks <object>" to "When <object> enters the slide" before. Am I "mis-remembering" or has the default trigger setting changed?
