Computers automatically default to the built-in display on power-up. It's part of the BIOS (binary in/out system) & POST (power-on self test) routines. That's simply because it's 'logical' for the computer to need to use the display it was provided with at manufacture. The only way to make it default to an external display - would be to have the computer automatically detect if an external monitor is plugged in. That would require extra software.

How do automatic transfer switches work?
ATS's constantly monitor the primary and secondary sources of power. When the primary source of power goes out, and the secondary is available, the unit automatically switches to the secondary power source. Some ATS's switch back to primary using the same logic, and some have to be manually switched back to primary. There are 'smart' switches that wait until the primary power source is available for a certain length of time (i.e. 2 minutes) until switching back, to avoid connecting to an unstable or intermittent utility source.
