Most people who use fidelity use it because their employer matches 401k investments into it… I’m honestly kind of amazed they haven’t dissolved given the rise of better self directed retirement fund options.
One of the biggest ways employers have managed to get people to save properly for retirement was making it opt out and automatically ramping up the withdrawal rate over time. You still don’t have to do so, but most people can’t be bothered thinking about retirement in any way.

Defaults are a powerful thing.
Not in Europe. I too have owned Fidelity funds at one Point.
