It’s ridiculous that the answer to a secure web is for everyone to sprinkle the magic salt and not something on the browser side

Referrer-Policy shows it can work. When the header is missing, browsers fall back to strict-origin-when-cross-origin. 86.6% of the sites we scanned don't send it, and we didn't count that as a failure for that reason. The other headers don't have a safe default like that yet.
That sounds more like it is a condemnation of all these other headers that can't work for 86.6% of sites by requiring nothing.

we'd need an epoch like reset to good defaults
For important issues like security - just break the web, it will adjust.
PoC? HN would be a great place to show one.
