From Craig's comment here:
We need to update the docs to indicate that providers are no longer enabled by default for the first release that will have this change (8.18 I believe): https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/fleet/current/providers.html#disable-providers-by-default
Some of the individual providers also indicate they are enabled by default like https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/fleet/current/kubernetes_leaderelection-provider.html
