You are probably talking about hard-subs or full subtitles that are enabled by default.
“Forced subtitles” specifically refers to subtitle that translate only non-default language or signs (like when someone speaks Spanish in an English movie).
If you’re watching a movie in English and the bad guys are suddenly speaking a few lines of Russian to each other, why would you not want subtitles for that? Or if the movie shows a sign in a foreign language? It’s often integral to the plot to have that information.
Yeah, I think there is a misunderstanding.

Not in my experience.
Forced Subs are just that - substantial are always forced on.
Now which ones are forced on depends in the video and player.
Hate both types of forces subs
Can you elaborate on why for the later?

The key is “forced”. I want to be able to choose.
