I'd have to disagree, whenever I install new pip/conda packages, an MKL version is downloaded by default (I've never seen any *BLAS version by default in my life).

NumPy binary wheels on PyPI (i.e. from pip) are built with OpenBLAS. NumPy from the official Anaconda, Inc. conda channel defaults to MKL. The conda-forge channel defaults to OpenBLAS.

Explained in the NumPy docs here: https://numpy.org/install/
