My 2 cents on this
MS should add a common checkbox to allow new/installed devices to get
automatically get as a default or not.

Expected behavior for the property key is to prevent the endpoint from
becoming the default under any circumstances. (If it is the only endpoint,
then there will be no default, just as if there were no endpoints at all.)
If you want to allow the endpoint to be the default (by user choice), but
just make it much less attractive than the other endpoints on the system,
then the property key is not for you. As an alternative you could take a
look at the Windows default device selection heuristics:
