FloatAsSingle default True value

I am currently working with your components (Devart dbExpress 6.4.0 - Delphi 2010) and noticed that the property FloatAsSingle is set to True by default.

I have questions regarding this:

What is the reasoning behind having this set to True by default?

Is it mainly for performance optimization, or are there specific architectural dependencies I should be aware of?

How can I change this default value to False globally?

I would like to ensure it is set to False across my entire project without having to toggle it manually every time.

Thanks!
