I think there's some unnecessary mental strain in having to think about whether things are private or public by default. Every now and then it causes that short pause where you need to go: "Do I have to put 'pub' in front of this thing? Oh, it's a trait implementation... do I don't" or "...Oh, it's a struct implementation, so yes I do".
I'd like to have everything be private by default, because that would make things simpler. Not only struct fields would become private by default, but also trait methods (private trait methods would be accessible only from within the default/provided methods of that specific trait). We'd get to have one less keyword too.
