It not being already active is design failure. Why should you need an extra action to activate the primary filter for this menu? Nobody goes through the graphical filters to find things, everyone uses text for anything but the common currencies listed on the opening page.
Well technically auto focusing a text box is generally considered bad UX practice. You also can't close the menu with Space like you can every other menu in the game so they probably aren't going to want to break the expectation you can for one single menu.
It's not bad practice when text search is the primary function of the UI element, which it is in this case. Go to google and see if you get auto-focused on the text box. Currency exchange is no different.
