I find all kind of code folding massively throws off my spatial sense of the code. And if I'm browsing random code, then I often need to see the body too, to see if this is the place the work is done, or is it behind some abstraction down the line.
Perhaps I don't need it as much on c++ codebases, as the headers in a sense are that already. And Rust codebases I've dabbled in haven't been quite that big or overwhelming.
The outlineview/(the popup on top of buffer in many editors that lists the outline) is enough to finding my place in a file I feel lost. And if just looking how to use a lib, there is often some API documentation that helps along finding the right things (even if just barebones doxygen or rustdoc).
I'm sure this is as much of a habit thing as other editor preferences. Still I find it surprising how many people like code-folding :)

The default, as made clear in the article, would be to do nothing different than today. This describes an optional feature.
