For distro maintainers it would likely break some/many older packages which assumed the old default behavior, thus requiring a number of patches. Usually not a big deal in and of itself (though it can be if the build system for that package is particularly junky), but when you consider there are so many packages including GCC always deprecating and changing things, it adds up to a lot of work to keep up with it all.

I hope that, if we decide to make Intel syntax the default since GCC 14, then such crud will be 
eventually got rid of since GCC 24. OTOH, if we don't do that, we would have to live with it forever.
