Comment:

 Hello, for what I understood from your comment this is not a bug and does
 not have anything to do with the customizer. Default values are not meant
 to be stored in the database, in fact themes should use ''''sane
 defaults'''' (see article https://make.wordpress.org/themes/2014/07/09
 /using-sane-defaults-in-themes/).

 In your specific case I guess you should simply show the social box unless
 the value retrieved is true, for instance (pseudo code): `<?php if ( !
 get_theme_mod('hide_box') ) { ?>box template<?php } ?>`
