Deterministic default is not `false` for MAUI projects

[StingyJack]

The deterministic section says that the default value is false, however after creating a new MAUI project this setting is implicitly true. Unchecking the property value in the VS project property pages and saving the csproj results in a set of build conditions being generated to set this value to explicitly false.

    <PropertyGroup Condition="'$(Configuration)|$(TargetFramework)|$(Platform)'=='Debug|net6.0-android|AnyCPU'">
      <Deterministic>False</Deterministic>
    </PropertyGroup>

    <PropertyGroup Condition="'$(Configuration)|$(TargetFramework)|$(Platform)'=='Release|net6.0-android|AnyCPU'">
      <Deterministic>False</Deterministic>
    </PropertyGroup>

    <PropertyGroup Condition="'$(Configuration)|$(TargetFramework)|$(Platform)'=='Debug|net6.0-ios|AnyCPU'">
      <Deterministic>False</Deterministic>
    </PropertyGroup>

    <PropertyGroup Condition="'$(Configuration)|$(TargetFramework)|$(Platform)'=='Release|net6.0-ios|AnyCPU'">
      <Deterministic>False</Deterministic>
    </PropertyGroup>

    <PropertyGroup Condition="'$(Configuration)|$(TargetFramework)|$(Platform)'=='Debug|net6.0-maccatalyst|AnyCPU'">
      <Deterministic>False</Deterministic>
    </PropertyGroup>

    <PropertyGroup Condition="'$(Configuration)|$(TargetFramework)|$(Platform)'=='Release|net6.0-maccatalyst|AnyCPU'">
      <Deterministic>False</Deterministic>
    </PropertyGroup>

    <PropertyGroup Condition="'$(Configuration)|$(TargetFramework)|$(Platform)'=='Debug|net6.0-windows10.0.19041.0|AnyCPU'">
      <Deterministic>False</Deterministic>
    </PropertyGroup>

    <PropertyGroup Condition="'$(Configuration)|$(TargetFramework)|$(Platform)'=='Release|net6.0-windows10.0.19041.0|AnyCPU'">
      <Deterministic>False</Deterministic>
    </PropertyGroup>

@chsienki Did the default change here?

[Youssef1313]

The default is true on the dotnet/sdk side:

https://github.com/dotnet/sdk/blob/7a21ca118f165bc921d53f97c7c78517b874942f/src/Tasks/Microsoft.NET.Build.Tasks/targets/Microsoft.NET.Sdk.props#L34

It has been true for very long.

@srivatsn - I know this was a while ago and you have moved on from that team, but do you recall the reason for it?
