Why are reference types not initialized to null?

Only fields (variables declared at class level) are initialized automatically.

The C# langauge requires that all variables be definitely assigned to before they are read from. Local variables are considered to be initially unassigned, whereas fields, array elements, and so on, are considered to be initially assigned to their default value. (Which, for a reference type, is null.).

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
