I'm curious, what is the motivation for forcing patrons to select a library? Under what circumstances is the user's home library not an appropriate default?

Some librarians in multi-branch systems want users to consciously make a decision about where they will pickup the hold. I can see the utility of forcing a choice. As Lucas says, I've talked to libraries that want this. If we're creating a new syspref and monkeying with this field, could we go a step further and make the syspref something like OPACHoldPickupDefault with the options (Patron home library / Item home library / Item holding library / Force a choice).
