“Vehicles only” is not a default setting, why it is on during campaign?

Your question implies that the fault lies with the player for changing parameters freely given to them.

A player will change the difficulty settings if they are available just as much as they would change resolution or keybindings.

For example — the prologue campaign provides a forced difficulty setting to avoid issues, maybe RoW should have locked difficulties if this is an out of control issue?

Sorry, didn't mean to upset you with my question, was simply trying to find out if there is a bug that changes default settings one way or another without user involvement
