this doesn't make sense. if the user wants to replace the default with a spammy app, they should have every right to (with explicit UI to do so). spammy app will get uninstalled enough and the market will direct them to not be spammy or die.
choosing apple (or Microsoft, or Google, ...) as the arbiters of what defaults exist on a platform, and making them unchangeable, is anticompetitive. strangely, we're no longer in a climate where calling out companies on this behavior is appealing anymore. Microsoft got much worse treatment when it did this decades ago. apple has been given a pass on this forever.
