A field’s settings can be set dynamically when the form is rendered on the page – this is when the field data is “localized” to the page for use by the form.

The list field types uses a list options’ selected setting to determine the default value(s) of a field. This is different than the textbox field, which uses the default_value setting to set the value of the field.
