Comment:

 I would say that the role addition is currently inconsistent.  If we add
 the default role on single site, then why don't we add the default role on
 multisite?

 I understand that plugins such as Multisite User Management have had to
 workaround this issue by adding their own role, so there is a potential
 conflict here.  However, WordPress allows a user to have multiple roles,
 but addding the default role might be unwanted like what you mention
 above.

 Maybe we do nothing here?
