Everything is a choice. You can choose to have 7 in everything. You can choose to make Generic Man. You can also choose to not place a single point in the 20-point buy system, 'defaulting' to the 10 Ability Score that does not give you any bonuses or penalty to any ability or skills.
"Common", on the otherhand, is based on three things: Location, Location, Location. At my store, it is "common" for our group to worship "TORAG!!!" and have low Will Saves. In another store, it could be that it is "common" to have high Reflex Saves and Charisma. Another store could have high Armor Class, low damage output as "common". It is just that in the interwebs, we choose to pool our own experiences and decide that this is the "common", only to expect that our location is the "common".
While common at my store is to be Grand Lodge.
