This is one of those fun situations where everyone's right.

The upstream default has changed, but CentOS still uses the old default.

Almost every distro I know turns this option off by default, including Arch, NixOS and Debian (the last one I am not sure).

It defaults to "no" on Debian 10. Maybe Fedora changed the default?

That's most interesting, given that both systemd and Fedora are Red Hat products. If there's one distro that would use the systemd defaults, I would expect it to be Fedora. Who exactly are these defaults for, then?

I've mainly seen it switched on for appliances and things that don't really have a legacy of this behavior.

It's not switched on in RHEL or Fedora. It's likely to never be so.
