Expanding your trust list out to level 4 means that a lot of scammers will stay in your trust network which means that their alts will possible have positive trust. The scammers will also have the ability to make it easier to give people negative trust that probably shouldn't have negative trust (just look at how many people woodcollector and his alts have given negative trust to, and I think he is (or at least was) in level 3 or 4 default trust (which is the case with a lot of other scammers)

I understand your logic completely. However I do think that those depths contain scammers and untrustworthy users because people don't really care about them. If the default depth was 3 or 4 then the users who understand the trust system would be more careful when adding users there and would also use exclusions more heavily.
Most probably default depth won't ever change and who knows if the lists would really be improved if more attention were given so this is just hypothetical. But I do understand what SaltySpitoon is saying. It would be nice to have a way to test new default settings by including a lot of (beta) users but not everyone.

Disclaimer: I'm in default trust on depths 3 and 4 and I just checked my profile looks awesome on those depths! Cheesy

Edit: If more depths were included it'd be useful to be able to give them different weights:

What about giving different weight to trust feedback? I can think of 2 ways of doing it. One would be by trust depth so depth 1's weight is 1, depth 2's is 0.75, and even depth 3's could be 0.5 or something like that, the other option is encouraging users to set their own trust list by weighting 1 one's own list and 0.5 the default trust if included. An account would be red if it received at least 1-weight of negative trust so a single feedback from someone on depth 2 or depth 3 wouldn't be enough but would still appear as trusted feedback.
