Probably because a (clever) user requested that they could be different.

That's even better.

If I may put a suggestion in the hopper...

Perhaps an Initial State setting could be added to the settings window for each project. It could default to the overall Initial State, but allow the thoughts Initial State in each project to be different.

That would allow the Initial State of thoughts to be Inactive if they are in a project where sequencing is turned on and Active in projects where sequencing is not turned on.
