Hi frithjof_v ,

 I know this is a year late, but I recently came across this post. It is not easy to find a definition, but here is one from Microsoft Learn for Fabric which I think answers your question.

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/fabric/fundamentals/preview

 

Preview experiences and features are released with limited capabilities, but are made available on a preview basis so customers can get early access and provide feedback.

Preview experiences and features:

  • Are subject to separate supplemental preview terms.

  • Aren't meant for production use.

  • Are not subject to SLAs and support is provided as best effort in certain cases. However, Microsoft Support is eager to get your feedback on the preview functionality, and might provide best effort support in certain cases.

  • May have limited or restricted functionality.

  • May be available only in selected geographic areas.

 

I agree with you that "Aren't meant for production use" and "on by default" don't seem like a good match.
