Secure defaults help, but the real test is whether small teams can use the policy controls without slowing every deploy.

The bigger risk is policy sprawl, not missing knobs, so GitHub probably needs opinionated presets small teams can adopt before they need full governance.

Presets matter, but the sharper lever is inheritance so a startup can stamp one trusted workflow across 20 repos instead of hand-tuning each one.
