That is misleading
First, in a compressed stream a single bit especially when part of
some header tends to have quite destructive effects on what
follows. Because things downstream depend on the previous stuff in general
I would have to check how much this applies in this case here but it probably
does. I doubt the CRC would be there if it was just protecting bits you can
nilly willy flip and still decode almost ok.

Also single bit errors are probably rather the exception than the rule.
Everything these days has complex error correction, which would never
pass a single bit error either no errors or lots of errors.

Thus its really a question how real damaged files behave here
They could sound better, in which case assuming the testset was representative
that is better.
They could sound worse in which case i think we should look at our error
handling, to make sure it is working correctly and properly concealing detected
errors. And if its all correct then its better not to error out by default
though maybe the extra information can still be usefull to improve the produced
audio.
The 3rd option would be that there are files out there that are undamaged but
have mismatching CRCs this too would be a good reason not to enable this
be default.
In any case real world files are what matter

Also to return to the single bit errors, you can likely correct them with
the CRC if that is against my expectation a common real world scenario
