Especially since 2 dozen cookies are a lot easier on the waistlines of 8 people than on the waistlines of 3.
It's a reasonable default state, but it's rare enough to feel considerate. I generally at least offer food to room mates, but might not bother inquiring about dietary restrictions ahead of time unless there's a reasonably convenient opportunity to. I still generally pick up some idea of what they are fairly quickly, along with a decent approximation of spice tolerance. It's not uncommon to not bother with that much.

Basically, she said it was considerate because your default state is to be considerate about that. It's a pretty straightforward situation.
