Why are noUnusedLocals and noUnusedParameters set to true by default?

Why are these 2 fields set to true in tsconfig.json? Just wondering.

    "noUnusedLocals": true,
    "noUnusedParameters": true,

I keep changing them to false in all my projects because I prefer to assign any value I create to a variable so that I know what it is without having to look at the value itself. I know that this is a matter of taste, but I'm also wondering whether it's just me who is changing this in every project.

Cheers!

Assuming you are talking about the projects generated using cdk init, I think this request is justified. It is not great for usability.
