Description

Would like to hear from others as to why it should be set to false by default like today

I feel like I often do
copy ( select * from x ) to '/path/to/file.xlsx'

First, only to have to change it to
copy ( select * from x ) to '/path/to/file.xlsx' with (header true)

Research direction

The issue names no files or tests. Start by tracing the Excel export handling for COPY statements and the current header default, then check how export behavior is tested. Done means the intended default is established and verified for COPY ... TO '*.xlsx', with an explicit override still behaving correctly.
