In case anyone is interested, I found a workaround for this until a default annotation option is (hopefully) added.

I set a 3 finger tap to enter annotation mode, and I set a 2 finger tap to select the Pen tool.

I'm trying to get into the habit of always doing a 2 finger tap after I use any tool other than the pen.  If I forget and enter annotation mode and the wrong tool is selected a quick 2 finger tap will select the pen tool.

Thanks,
