Sorry I got confused - I was thinking of the case where the object being extruded is not itself planar. For that case it does pick a world axis direction as the default rather than some skewed direction.

But if the object that you are extruding is itself planar within tolerance it will use that object plane direction as the default like you were thinking.

The more that objects use their own built in properties helps make things work with multiiple selection "batch mode" type stuff.
