This is not true but it would be nice if it was.

Hmm. I am perhaps confusing announced plans, and the effect of the HSTS preload lists, with actually released changes to defaults.
I'll have to install some fresh VMs and see what behaviour I get out-of-the-box with no HSTS cache (and sites not on the preload lists) on various OSs, to correct my understanding.
