Comment (by TimothyBlynJacobs):

 This seems like a sensible approach to me. I'm inclined to agree that we
 shouldn't be writing the default to the database. But, I don't think
 fixing this necessarily blocks #55600. We could still omit writing the
 default value to the database if the user doesn't have permission to
 update that field.
