 Description   

The "Transactions and Write Concern" Section of the Transactions documentation say the following:

If the transaction-level write concern and the session-level write concern are unset, transaction-level write concern defaults to the client-level write concern. By default, client-level write concern is w: 1. See also Default MongoDB Read Concerns/Write Concerns.

This is incorrect as of MongoDB 5.0.

The linked documentation for this section (Default MongoDB Read Concerns/Write Concerns) shows that the default write concern as of MongoDB 5.0 is `w: "majority"` (with special considerations for arbiters)
