Why isn't Lossless audio track enabled by default?

New to MakeMKV, forgive the noob question/observation:
I ripped about 30 of my Blu-ray discs before I noticed the disclosure arrow under the Main Title (I know: RTFM). I noticed that, strangely, the Lossless audio track is NEVER checked, but the child/core audio track beneath it is always checked.
I confirmed via both Plex and MediaInfo that the rips I had made did not actually contain the Lossless audio track. So, now I've got to re-rip the discs (this time selecting ONLY the Lossless audio track, as I'll only be playing back through TrueHD/DTS-MA-capable receivers.)
My question is, given that MakeMKV was created expressly for creating high quality rips of discs, why would the Lossless audio track not only be unchecked by default, but hidden under a disclosure arrow?
I didn't see a Preference anywhere for choosing a default Audio track to rip, or a way to set up a preferred Profile as a default for ripping.
And, of course, I could be doing something wrong. But I'm a little frustrated at losing about 15 hours worth of time ripping discs to go back and re-do them with Lossless checked.
