It has to open something, and pico/nano, at least, has a menu that tells you how to quit. What else would be a preferable default?

I'm open to the idea that there isn't a better default, but that doesn't make it less annoying.

Another option would be to fail and prompt the user to configure an editor preference. That wouldn't be much different (to me) than what it does now.
