They do. It's clearly warned about in the interface both at the time you make it so and with a big "PUBLIC" sticker label afterwards. What's more, I've received warning emails from AWS notifying of (intentionally) public buckets.

Public buckets for private data are a deliberate and wilful choice by lazy, reckless administrators.

I noticed this when I went into my console the other day. (Ironically, to set up a public bucket for something.) I don't think the UI was bad before but, now, you'd have to be pretty clueless to have a bucket public by accident.
