Default Bus Bars (electrical)

That's not true.

Some panels have add-on neutral bars to be used when the panel is
installed as a sub-panel (no ground-neutral bond). The add-on bars come
with insulating (plastic) standoffs and usually a flexible plastic
shield under and around one side of the bus. I think Siemens is one
brand which does this, but I don't remember for certain which.
