And respect, gone. Go read your own PHB. It's standard array or point buy with rolling being the tertiary option.

Even with that, I'm of the opinion that there technically is no default, because D&D is a framework, a resource for the DM to use for their individual table. So the only defaults, is what ever the DM decides for it to be for that particular table.
100% agree. My daughter LOVES dice rolls. She always rolls well and gets high stats. She's like a halfling - always lucky.
My wife, however, loves point but. It's not as RNG based, and she's at least guaranteed some decent stats. When she rolls, I swear - 8s and 9s for at least 2 or 3 stats.
