As Achim explained, a document like this one is displayed with all its
parts completely visible:
========================================================================
#+STARTUP: showeverything
* A section
Some text.
========================================================================

This is not about customizing Org mode.
This is about specifying *within* your document whether it should be
read as a text or as an outline.
Org mode is primarily used as a tool to manage lists of tasks, with
notes possibly attached to the tasks. In this case, displaying the
document as an outline is useful.
Org mode is also used as a tool to write documents.
If this is your use case and if you don't want people to see
the document as an outline, inserting #+STARTUP: showeverything
at the beginning of it is the way to go.

I guess users would find the default folding behavior more useful
than a default "showeverything" behavior -- but I might be wrong.
If you have other ideas on how to improve Org mode, please share.
Thanks!
