Comment:

 @harsh175 welcome to Trac and thanks for your proposal.

 Discussed this ticket during today's accessibility meeting, and agreed
 it's not clear what the value added from hiding or disabling the default
 role "section" would be. There are a number of reasons why one would want
 to change the user default role even when "Anyone can register" is
 unchecked, for example during development.

 Worth noting the default user role setting also affects the default
 selected role in the "Add new user" page (`user-new.php`), so it is used
 also for other things, not strictly related to the "Anyone can register"
 checkbox.

 There could also be other registration workflows etc. that could be
 impacted. For these reasons there was consensus to close this ticket, but
 please do feel free to reopen if something was missed. Conversation can
 continue also on closed tickets.
