If someone explicitly passes in "const opts = { name: null }" then I would argue that he wants name to be null and it should not be overwritten by what is defined in defaults. But I agree with you that there may be some (rare?) cases where some other behaviour is wanted.

Well, I can't speak for the needs of every other developer or application, but I have personally encountered plenty of cases where null and undefined checks are necessary to avoid runtime errors.
