I think it would make sense to change the default Spotlight node direction coordinates from (0,-1,0) to (0,0,1). In the first case they don't work properly when connected to the Distribution socket of the emission node. One of those things that will confuse new users as they might think, the Spotlight node doesn't work properly.

More practical, appropriate and time saver, indeed.

An alternative configuration is:
Orientation ---> Normal Surface.

The reason of the default configuration is supposedly related to arch-viz.
However, it is seemingly undesired for many, if not for most. This was considered when creating the ORBX presets.
