Description:

Verifies the default sharing link type that is pre-selected when users share files in SharePoint and OneDrive. The recommended state is a direct (specific people) link rather than an organization-wide or anyone link.

Why:

The default sharing link type controls what link is pre-selected when users share files in SharePoint and OneDrive. A permissive default increases the risk of accidental oversharing.
