Why are default judgements even eligible for appeal? If they want to contest it, they should show up the first time.

Poor renters are the most likely people to end up with default judgments, and the most likely to appeal on eviction cases. The appeals process is usually to the BENEFIT of the tenant. This case is just an exception to that general rule

Because you can't define that a magistrate ever served the paperwork or that anybody even exists. How did the magistrate enter a default judgment is a better question, I'm sure nobody was served.
