App defaults

I was browsing the fediverse recently and I came across this post from Robb Knight:
I haven’t been up to date on my Hemispheric Views1 lore, but this peaked my interest. Recently, they ran a game show-style episode “Duel of the Defaults!”, hosted by Andrew Canion with the contestants Martin “Mr Default” Feld and Jason Burk2, where they answer questions to find out who is the true Mr Default. (Spoiler alert: Martin won)
These have inspired me to do my own list. Enjoy!
