I guess it could be - but I am not sure if it should. Conventions about the type of bullet to be used in a document belong to the typesetting side, and I rather establish a global setting for a document than follow my momentary decisions when I write the Org-mode version of it. On a similar vein, we do have lists starting with - and * and +, but we still let LaTeX and HTML choose what to use as a bullet. To me this feels like the right behavior.
