Many things have been universal defaults, then a truly better product appeared or an inferior one was inflicted to people and they could not dodge it. The default changed.
The first Google was an example of a truly better product compared to Yahoo, Altavista, etc. For browsers, the first Firefox vs IE6. Both with only word of mouth. Or the first Chrome vs Firefox, at least for JS speed. Both word of mouth and advertising.
Examples of inferior products that people could not dodge: many Microsoft corporate products. The latest one is probably Teams. Maybe Windows 11 too. Of course Windows 8.
