The reason for that is the secure by default principle. If security is configured (e.g. Spring security via cds-starter-cloudfoundry), all endpoints are authenticated. In case of mock configuration (no xsuaa or identity binding), the Java runtime automatically creates default mock users you can use.

In development scenarop you can also configure authentication to a more relaxed mode, e.g. only endpoints with authorizations (@restriction, @requires) are authenticated. See details here.
