Encryption is opt-in, not the default.

It's not even opt-in on Bionic anymore (at least, that checkbox is gone from the installer where you enter your user info)

I'm pretty sure home-dir encryption was the default with Ubutunu 15.04.

I know that I installed Ubuntu with default settings, and was pleasantly surprised by that. Not sure about the exact version though.

[stavros → perlgeek]

I don't think it was the default. There was an "encrypt my home dir" checkbox which was unchecked by default.
