A click-through is just one click per user, and we still don't like it. Those clicks add up.
We also want to provide the best default configuration without a few weeks spent on fine tuning.

Actually the Debian maintainer of the respective package also claimed here he does not want to deviate from the upstream package.

As far as I can see, the article only says that he doesn't want to patch Okular for that. But changing the configuration is not the same thing as patching.

As far as package management is concerned, changing defaults usually is achieved through patching. If things change in new versions of the program, it can cause conflicts in the same way as other patches so has similar maintenance overhead.
Granted this is a small change, but it isn't necessarily simpler to maintain than a small code change.
