React: Enforce defaultProps for props that are not required
See original GitHub issueSummary
Please consider requiring defaultProps definition for all props that aren’t required.
Specifically, via react/require-default-props eslint rule.
Justification
Without defaultProps, a prop is set to undefined. Sometimes this isn’t a problem, but sometimes it is, ~as in #6076~ (actually not exactly relevant in this case)
Additional examples of why defaults for non-required props are important can be found in the react/require-default-props docs.
