This is the default for Windows Python >= 3.4 and macOS on Python >= 3.8.
Salt, however, will force macOS to spawning by default on all python versions
Starting with Python 3.14, Linux also defaults to not "fork", but it uses
(new) "forkserver" instead of "spawn". Functionally, it's very similar as
far as Salt is concerned (process state is not inherited).
