This lint does more harm than good: in its description, it proposes to rewrite `match` on `Vec<_>` indexes or slices by a version which cannot panic but masks the failure by choosing the default variant. The `clippy::indexing_slicing` restriction lint covers those cases more safely, by suggesting to use a non-panicking version to retrieve the value from the container, without suggesting to fallback to the default success variant in case of failure.
