Illustrator Feature Request: Preference Option to Preserve Aspect Ratio While Scaling Without Holding Shift

I'd love a setting that would allow me to preserve aspect ratio while scaling in Illustrator without holding Shift, like it is by default in Photoshop.

I often jump back and forth between Photoshop and Illustrator on jobs, and it’s frustrating to me that these two programs aren’t in sync on whether you need to hold the Shift key to preserve aspect ratio while scaling an object. 

I know Photoshop allows you to choose the legacy setting where you need to hold Shift to preserve aspect ratio, but I’d rather it be the other way around, where both applications allowed you to preserve aspect ratio without holding Shift.

I don’t want to upset the workflows of Illustrator users accustomed to holding Shift, so could a setting be added to Illustrator’s Preferences to allow users to opt-in to this synchronized behavior?
