It is true that wanting things not to change is often a reasonable desire. Part of the error in the bias, I think, is that we assume that the status quo stays the same by default. In reality, at least nowadays, a lot of things change by default unless we put in deliberate effort, and make additional changes, to keep them the same. There isn’t actually a no-change option, but we pretend there is.
