Origin to Geometry should be set to Bounds Center intead of Median Center by default

Median is unpredictable and I personally never use it for production. Bounds make much more sense to be the default option as it is very predictable, more useful for production, and is just easier to understand for beginners. At least we should have an option in the parameters to change it to be Bounds by default as currently you have to set it to bounds every single time you use the tool (it doesn't remember your previous option, and it cannot be saved in the startup file as far as I know). That's 2 extras clicks each time I want to recalculate the origin of an object I could definitely live without.

Maybe it would be better if it actually saved the latest setting? That would benefit more than just this operator.

In the keymap preference, set a hotkey for this operation and choose "Bounds Center" for the center. It'll always remember the option. It is one more hotkey to deal with but it's the best option for you right now.

I agree. Same with setting the location of the 3D cursor based on selection. You end up with a couple extra vertices on one side, and suddenly your "center" isn't even close to the center.
