A general response, not especially dedicated to Justin 

Point 1: 
A) Can it become worse compared to current state? Images probably most inserted
objects (say 80%); so we are 'saving' only '20%'
B) The To Paragraph anchor does behave differently. The mixture is not totally
clear for the end-user.
C) Putting everything 'to character' has the advantage of slightly more focus.
It does reduce some other bugs; so conversion issues 'to paragraph' 'to 
character'. 
D) I hope you did a search excluding my reports ;-). A single user doesn't
represent the whole user base..

Point 2:
Even if decide that this can't be done in the near feature, this still topic
for 'long term'.. The 'plan'.  Is the ultimate goal to harmonize the default
anchoring or not?

Point 3:
The topic does also include few other aspect aside from anchoring (default wrap
& alignment settings) which can be harmonized (fully or partly; at once of step
by step). 

Or is someone able the explain why the current insertion defaults - which are
different for object by object - are being the right choice. I might have a
knowledge gap.. 

Or are we in nobody knows exactly terrain. Where we now it's the default, we
assume this being for a reason without insights... And we know that changes
mostly cause some unexpected/unintended (side) effect causing an angry mob, so
we refrain from doing anything.. The lovely status quo.
