If we're against 'foisting choices' on readers, we should just say silent and not write.

It's less a matter of whether the default is justified, and more a matter of the default being whatever the reader expected to find. Good book design relies heavily on making things frictionless for the reader. For ebooks, that means making sure the book behaves the way the reader expects it to.
