Default root container layout isn't applied to the workspace on the main display

[shoplab7]

I have
default-root-container-layout = 'accordion'
in config, but when I launch aerospace, workspace on the main display(2) uses tiles, while workspaces on external displays use accordion.

The same issue arises for me with default set to tiling.
