If your ex makes your life hell, doesn't that seem like the type of person who would not be a fit parent? If they handle situations by making your life hell, then they should not be parenting a child?
I also think 50-50 should be the default, and if one parent disagrees, it should take court to order otherwise only after that parent makes a good case why.
Right now, people who want more than 50-50 are usually a primary caregiver who doesn't want to spend less time with the child, an un(der)employed person who sees greater CS as necessary income, or a vengeful person who sees monopolizing the child as punitive towards their ex.
From the other end, you may also have a workaholic who prioritizes their job over time with their children, an uninvolved parent who finds child care unpleasant, or someone infatuated with a new relationship; these types usually want less than 50-50.
When those types of parents don't pair up nicely, then you would have a 50-50 default, and an uphill battle in court.
