Yes, but if we remove the checkboxes on new install, we do not need to worry about the checkbox being unchecked.
We aren't removing checkboxes, we're hiding them. It actually makes more sense to default to unchecked once we hide the fields, otherwise new sites will be creating "promoted" content without the checkbox even being visible. We have to do things in small steps (see the history of this issue) otherwise we'll never get anywhere :) Just look at how many tests in core assume things are promoted by default!

We need an upgrade path here though unfortunately.
Currently if you:
1. Install Standard profile on 11.x
2. Check out this branch
3. Clear cache
4. Notice the Article node type no longer defaults to Promoted. Page correctly still defaults to Not Promoted because Standard ships with base_field_override config - 🇨🇦Canada xmacinfo Canada

@xmacinfo no - this is different. This is making the checkbox on the NodeType form itself to be unchecked.

Based on #29338: Hide Promoted/Sticky fields by default in Form display → , we should be marking this ticket as “Outdated” or “Duplicate”.
