Routers don't all come with the same WiFi password, why should this be any different? Most people probably won't even know about this feature, therefore will never "provision" it.

Quite a few of them do, in fact the likilihood of your router having a fixed default password increases with it being less of a consumer oriented product, most SOHO and above routers as well as other equipment does comes with a known default password.

This feature isn’t turned on by default, someone had to go into the BIOS and enabled it. This feature is also not available on non enterprise consumer laptops.
