The motivation for this is that some applications are unaware
of this feature and can set their volume to 100% on startup
harming people ears and possiblly blowing someone's audio
setup.
I noticed this in #54594 and by extension epiphany[0].
Please also note that many other distros have this default for
the reason outlined above.

Systemd provides some functionality to escape strings that are supposed
to be part of a unit name[1]. This seems to be used for interface names
in `sys-subsystem-net-devices-{interface}.device` and breaks
wpa_supplicant if the wireless interface name has a dash which is
encoded to \x2d.
Such an interface name is rather rare, but used i.e. when configuring
multiple wireless interfaces with `networking.wlanInterfaces`[2] to have on
interface for `wpa_supplicant` and another one for `hostapd`.
