Why bitcoin does not generate and support Segwit addresses by default automatically?

2

I downloaded the latest bitcoin core, but the generated wallet and address was not a segwit. Why bitcoin core, does not support segwit by default? and when it will be changed?

The address is a segwit script (P2SH-P2WPKH), but it was not a bech32 address, if that's what you mean.JBaczuk 2019-05-20T13:10:53.827
