I can understand your case and in some situations in the past I also felt like the parent element should have been the default position root (or containing block in CSS terminology). Though setting the parent element as containing block is quite straight forward. As you say, you can define `position: relative;` on it, amongst other ways. And setting it via a selector as value doesn't buy an author much, as they could just set any ancestor element they want as containing block by setting that property on them. Besides that, the issue to get to know what's the containing block of an absolutely positioned element is something that is handled by developer tools.
