It is designed to be like that...

Most ircds can invite people over bans and limits, sometimes you might not want something who isn't an op to be able to invite themself into the channel.  So setting the default to the level of an op is logical.

This sort of setting can be changed per channel:

/msg chanserv help levels desc

And you'll see that you can change the level of user which can use the invite command, as well as a few others.
