Default alarm behavior NON-optimal

The behavior of the ALARM APP is NON-optimal. As I understand it...If you manually create an ALARM, you can select a particular alarm tone, and it will propagate to future alarms. If you just "Siri set alarm to 7am" you get the most annoying sound known to human-kind (RADAR). Yes, you can go into the ALARM app and change this after the fact, but WHY? So many questions, why can you not set this through the "settings" page? Who was the sadist who selected this noise? Why is this so un-apple like? I would really like a developer at Apple tell me why this is all a good thing. If you call support they say "This is the way it is, and you can't change it" MEH!
