That makes sense, use the best possible quality unless you have restrictions.
By default libx264 does not set any restriction:

---------------
profile

Default: not set

Limit the profile of the output stream. If you specify a profile, it overrides
all other settings, so if you use it, you will be guaranteed a compatible
stream. If you set this option, you cannot use lossless encoding (--qp 0 or
--crf 0).

You should set this if you know your playback device only supports a certain
profile. Most decoders support High profile, so there's no need to set this.

Values available: baseline, main, high, high10, high422, high444.
