We're planning on switching the default in 1.109 with https://github.com/microsoft/vscode/issues/287073

My main hesitation here was that really it's just a false sense of security though. Tasks is just one of the things this enables, and in the core codebase we are unable to determine what exactly it enables as extensions could do all sorts of things. At a certain point, it's really on the user to not dismiss the giant modal security warning that describes the core risk in the first sentence and say they trust things they don't actually trust.

I've also created these follow ups based on this thread:

- Revise workspace trust wording "Browse" https://github.com/microsoft/vscode/issues/289898 - Don't ask to enable workspace trust in system folders and temp directories https://github.com/microsoft/vscode/issues/289899
