The kernel default for tmpfs mounts is rwxrwxrwt, i.e. world-writable with the sticky bit set. This makes sense for /tmp and /var/tmp, but less so for other directories. Users will not use systemd-mount to mount /tmp and /var/tmp, so the existing behaviour is surprising. The defaults are overriden to the same defaults we use for "internal tmpfs mounts", i.e. no sticky bit, nosuid, nodev, and limits of size=10%, nr_inodes=400k. --tmpfs is new, so we can modify the behaviour without breaking compatibility.
