So why don't we have variables enabling the user to customize the
"default" value of each optional parameter to every internal function,
such as the default values of `default-filename', `mustmatch' and
`only-dir-p' in Fx_file_dialog?  Or the default `action' in
`x-begin-drag'?

This specific case is even worse, since we now have two different
variables for customizing two subtly different kinds of "tooltip hide
delay".

That way lies madness.
