Why:
There is mixed information in the documentation on whether Dependabot alerts are enabled by default on public repositories or not. While studying for the GHAS certification I found conflicting documentation and practice exam questions. I verified myself by going into existing private and public repositories that did not have any GHAS settings modified yet and Dependabot alerts were disabled for both.
Documentation I read for studying:
