Rclone crypt seems not to crypt content of files

When I run through the GUI, I get a proper rclone.conf with an entry there:

[TESTMESFTP]
type = crypt
password = YL7XN0Kl2aYCmNbkz3Gb3mPNPkMLfu69
password2 = gM-J2T6Lxa3Fs5l0vxcOyIbXGrFV3Oei
remote = SFTP:crypt

This brings up the question, does a newly created Rclone config not have these lines any longer (if so configured):

filename_encryption = standard
directory_name_encryption = true

Generally, any default isn't in the config. I think some might show up depending on what you pick on the config.

Entering through config gives me or picking the defaults gives me:

[TESTING]
type = crypt
remote = blah:test
password = zZUAnaf1kmrzGC0AV8-YD4Vp-6fC8Tr_G3YEV8z8FFYmpVyFHNM

That's through the CLI rclone config, the WebGUI does it's own thing though so not sure.

Makes sense. Was just wondering if things had changed since I created my config almost five years ago. Looks like my lines only show now if you pick the opposite (non-defaults).

did two tests using the webgui, which i have never used before

test 1. not using advanced settings
test 2. using advanced settings which has the following default

in both tests, for the remotes, rclone did NOT add no_data_encryption = false

[testcrypt]
type = crypt
password = y4d9tJ1KdJQl7ZhMa4WSHi1A2DS31NDt
password2 = ZwkdsYWRm2mwWUHFSY2q34U-47FSYlh0
remote = remote:

[testcryptadvanced]
type = crypt
password = RQ84wJtfP1qwH2b4Pjut4C4fjNJrjyTd
password2 = v6BU45kyNKpJ_g6oW_C7t7uRc_xMymky
remote = remote:

did another test, using the webgui, this time using advanced settings and set no_data_encryption to true

[testcryptadvtrue]
type = crypt
no_data_encryption = true
password = N-3OfZI5ip8Qr_-po82lxtbfCP0lA1O6
password2 = ktnGu3RZ4tbghMm1hXWG0P_b7sn11-K1
remote = remote:
