It can be the default, but having no other alternative can lead to confusion.
Draw is used extensively for handling imported images and many such images,
especially vectors, do not fit on page/canvas size by deafult, for a variety of
reasons. For such documents you therefore have to resize the page each time you
export a different part of the image, which is cumbersome. The page is a page,
after all, and not a view port. 

Perhaps this issue relates to mixed visual metaphors for traditional physical
documents vs more digitally-focused data, such as SVG (used extensively for web
graphics).
