Why are my premiere exports defaulting to “work area” rather than “sequence in/out”

I’ve got so used to my exports just defaulting to sequence in/out as I set them to, now they’ve just started doing this. For some strange reason there’s no option to have “sequence in/out” set as one of your preferences for exports. Why does Adobe make certain things like this so difficult when the solution should be so simple?

 

It means that I’ve got used to sequence in/out and so I go into automatic pilot not checking it, next thing I know my export is taking one hour and I don’t know why and then I remember it’s set to work area. I almost never want the whole work area exported.

The Work Area bar is disabled by default, so it shouldn't be selected unless the user explicitly enables the feature. 

If enabled, the source range will choose it first. Is deselected it will honor the sequence in/out.
