This matches how the API behaves – email confirmation is on unless the calling service sets the argument to False:
https://github.com/alphagov/notifications-api/blob/0315a5be585472700c509f65224898d183e2e048/app/v2/notifications/post_notifications.py#L271

It also follows what we say in the docs, that turning off this feature is ‘not recommended’:
