Huh? Of course it's the default. I'm not really sure why the OP is
surprised at this. A database that won't let you create any tables
is not terribly useful.
If you don't like this, you can get rid of the database's public schema
and/or restrict who has CREATE permissions on it. But I can't see us
shipping a default configuration in which only superusers can create
tables. That would just encourage people to operate as superusers, which
overall would be much less secure.
