Default user.properties file comes with your JMeter installation and lives in its "bin" folder.

If you lost your own one by accident - you can always get it back from i.e. JMeter Github or download a new JMeter build and extract it from there

The funny thing is that the "default" user.properties file doesn't add any value because all settings are commented out therefore you can feed an arbitrary empty file to JMeter

I think the reason for having this file is that JMeter's Results File Configuration can be customized and for example if you ran a JMeter test with one .jtl file configuration you won't be able to generate the dashboard on the "default" one, the result file configurations must match.
