I think this is because at present org-archive-all-matches is a
non-interactive helper function that is called only when someone is
using org-archive-subtree or org-toggle-archive-tag with a prefix
argument. So without some refactoring, using org-archive-default-command
would cause unexpected behavior, since it is invoked only in contexts in
which people are explicitly expecting *either* org-archive-subtree *or*
org-toggle-archive-tag.

Were you by chance looking to have this work with
org-archive-to-archive-sibling?

Best,

Matt
