afaik blocking autoplay by default might be a safety thing. Such as considering sites w/screamers (even if they're thankfully less common), performance issues, people who don't like sudden sounds w/no warnings. So having it disabled by default might be a better-safe-than-sorry thing
Safe maybe, but not fun. I think maybe life is too short to spend it being too safe :^S
snitches get stitches.
