Right, that is by design.  Read
<https://www.gnupg.org/faq/gnupg-faq.html#no_default_of_rsa4096> to read
why we even don't default to 4096.

If you somehow have a demand for RSA > 4096 bit you will also have the
experts at hand which can figure out how to create such keys with GnuPG
and how are able to implement the OPSEC which you surely need with such
demands.
