This really hasn't been the case for me on my macOS 10.15.6 machine. 

I have three printers connected and I've verified that changing my `Settings > Printers & Scanners > Default Printer` correctly updates the printer returned from `cupsGetDestMediaDefault()`

But when I tried to use the IPP method on macOS, I switched my default from US Letter to A4 and only two of my printers correctly updated. 
I believe that Hiro had a similar experience, which is why we decided to keep `cupsGetDestMediaDefault()` on macOS, over using the IPP.

I'm really curious to know what's causing these inconsistencies.
