Why profiles are not featured in discovery by default? (lemmy.ml)

I recently discovered that the "Feature profile and posts in discovery algorithms" checkbox in the account settings is disabled by default. I didn't even know this option existed.

I'm curious why it's disabled by default. I think most users would want to be featured.
