'Can the Add Readme checkbox default to unchecked when creating a Git repository in Azure DevOps?

When adding a new Git repository in Azure DevOps, the "Add a README" checkbox defaults to a checked status. If left checked, this actually creates a commit in the repo.

Is there a setting that will change this so the box is left unchecked? It's not a big deal to uncheck the box when creating the repository, except that I have users who are neglecting to do it, so we've got a bunch of "TODO: Give a short introduction of your project" files in our repos.

Thank you.
