Please do not go down that road. The default behaviour is the one of GNU make.
Its well documented and if you want make to default to make -s you are free to
make yourself an alias in bash for it. In addition verbose builds are a good
default esp. for builders/bots and newcomers.

'We are different' is not a good argument in this -- see the How-to-build wiki
page for a history of things, where we thought being different would be a good
thing and now are stuck with outdated docs as in meantime somebody thought up a
different nondefault behaviour to be a great default.

Best,
