Cant find away to turn on.APAS. MAVIC ,2. Pro

It's not always available and there is not a hard-control for it on the remote.

• You start it with the APAS button in DJI GO 4 (triangle icon with arrow through it on the left side of screen)
• You have to be in P-mode
• The icon will also go away if you're in an intelligent flight mode.
• There are a few other gotchas listed in the manual, pg 32.

Why is it not activated by default?

That would assume that a majority want it on by default. I almost never use it, myself. It's slow and doesn't work when you're in other intelligent flight modes.

I do use other slower/safer modes, such as tripod and cinematic modes, but they too are slow. Sometimes you want to get to a location faster, then turn on a slower mode for smoother video. You don't need the extra safety when you're flying clear, well away from obstacles.

Also, if you're are shooting a wide landscape from a high altitude, those modes are TOO slow. A normal speed looks better on video and is plenty smooth for straight flying. Though for this, you want to tweak your EXP / sensitivity / yaw / gimbal settings to be smoother motion from default (there are other threads for that topic).

Yup, I used it when I was new but never use it now. I am more likely turning sensors off, than turning APAS on.
