There's already code in ModerationStateForm to do this, but it appears buggy. If the form's initial state is that "make default" is checked but "published" is not, the form will preload with make-default checked but then uncheck it in Javascript immediately. This appears to be a core bug.

As soon as the core bug is identified and fixed we should uncomment the code in question.
