Comment (by SergeyBiryukov):

 > Currently, the only way to hide columns by default is to write
 everyone's user_meta with the array for the hidden columns on a particular
 screen.

 You can use
 [https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/hooks/get_user_option_option/
 get_user_option filter] without actually writing user meta:
 {{{
 function wp31989_set_hidden_columns_for_posts_screen( $result ) {
         if ( ! $result ) {
                 $result = array( 'author', 'categories' );
         }

         return $result;
 }
 add_filter( 'get_user_option_manageedit-postcolumnshidden',
 'wp31989_set_hidden_columns_for_posts_screen' );
 }}}
