Why doesn’t the recuperation (re-Gen) mode automatically come on in range mode?

for daily street driving it makes no difference and Porsche is wrong about one pedal driving - it should be on by default for Range, Normal, and off for Sports and Sports Plus…
No, it should not be on by default for Range/Normal mode!

I do think there should be setting for every drive mode, so it can be set.

After a month driving, I completely changed my mind about one-pedal. Fast acceleration to the desired speed and then simply let go to enjoy the effortless and silent... is the best!

I have learned to especially like no regen on uphill freeway (motorway) exits.
And the car is more comfortable for passengers when it simply coasts when you take your foot off the accelerator.

The real issue is that the car doesn't remember your recup settings. It's slightly annoying having to hit the button every damn time I switch modes. Really a miss by Porsche there.

It feels like something the engineers said the car didn't need but marketing insisted there be SOME kind of recup so they just threw it in.
