There is no way Oracle could possibly know how many tablespaces the database will be created with or what their names would be. The only things that is 100% sure is: if there will be a database, it will surrely contain tablespace named "SYSTEM", as the "CREATE DATABASE..." command itself will create it (provided noone messes with the sql.bsq).
SYSTEM my well be the only tablespace in the database (although this would be realy an extremely imbecile db design), so the only logical choose is to assign this tablespace to all automatically created users. It is then the responsibility of a DBA to change defaults for temporary tablespace for users SYS and SYSTEM (also the default tablespace for SYSTEM).
