This post is just plain wrong. They do not default to musl on any platform.

They only default to the system's libc (which is typically gnu libc, though could be musl) if certain networking constructs are used. They otherwise default to not using any external libc library, but rather implementing one with syscalls internally.

The above is for linux. On other platforms it varies further, but to my knowledge the parent post is not right on any platform.
