That’s a fair point, and I don’t have strong opinions of what minimal level of font-lock should include. The default value is derived from my observation of the (few) existing major modes that support font-lock levels.

Since this isn’t a technical issue but rather a subjective one, perhaps you can bring it up to emacs-devel and have a discussion there. If the consensus agrees with you, then we can change the default value.

If you just want to make it work for yourself, you can use treesit-font-lock-recompute-features to add/remove features you desire.
