S3 lifecycle is a standard bucket feature — operators set PutBucketLifecycleConfiguration through the S3 API expecting the configured expirations to actually fire. With the prior default (scheduler enabled=false), buckets with lifecycle XML silently retained data past their declared expiration until an operator noticed and turned the scheduler on. The failure mode of enabled-by-default is "worker runs every day and fast-exits on buckets with no lifecycle rules" — cheap. The failure mode of disabled-by-default is "data lingers, looks like it expired, doesn't" — bad. Enabled-by-default matches both the AWS S3 default behavior and the operator's natural mental model. Operators who want the worker off can still disable it via the admin UI; once a persisted config exists, this descriptor default no longer applies (the persisted Enabled state wins). Test pins the choice so a future flip to false fails loud.
