Default Straight-ins at uncontrolled airports?

Is the step to the right something new? I might do that if the reason
for an aborted landing was someone taking the active when I was on a
mile final, but if I was on short final I'd climb straight ahead over
that traffic being pretty sure it wasn't going to catch up with me (of
course I'd notice if it was a hot airplane) , bend onto crosswind and
rejoin downwind considering other traffics' location.

What's your point? Standard procedure for a go around is full power, climb
to pattern altitude and step to the right of the runway so as not to inhibit
other users who may be taking off, and so you can see what is happening on
the runway.

Here it'd be straight out to pattern height and then a cross wind to
down wind unless you end up passing some one.
