Why not just:
struct Foo{
this(){
// do stuff here
}
}
void main(){
Foo foo1; // error, no init value
auto foo2=Foo(); // ok
}
Because then the user might think, that the default constructor gets
called implicitly by the compiler.
This would be pointed out by the compiler. (i.e. it is an error instead
of an implicit call.)
Just like in C++. But as that is not
the case the syntax should be different to indicate that a struct might
still be instaniated just using T.init.

What would be an use case for a bypassable default constructor?
I don't know any use case. But AFAIK the reason there is no default
constructor for structs in D has to do something with exception safetey.
So whatever cases those are, they might need a bypassable default
constructor.
