Teams Posts & Files Tabs - making Files Tab as the default AND Renaming the General channel
In regards to making the Files Tab as the default, this feature is not available and has been requested by others for a few years. Here is the most recent spot available that I know of to vote and voice support for this feature to be implemented.

I totally agree with this idea... wish Microsoft would implement it.
We seldom if ever use the Posts tab. Over the course of the day, we access the Files tab dozens of times, and it sure would be nice if it was the default folder instead of Posts.
- I feel like Microsoft changes it's support and features sites every couple years or so in an effort to be able to say we're working on it and not make it look like it's been being worked on for five years and no progress is being made. I've bookmarked requests that eventually turn into the 404 error and I find out there's a new feedback/requested features site with all newly populated requests. Sus, if you ask me.
- That the last few links I've found scattered around while searching for this are all 404 errors does tend to add weight to your suspicion. Doing a search on the support portal did reveal some active requests about it, but with less than 60 votes I feel it's yet another pop-up in the ongoing struggle.
As you say, it's almost like Micro$oft's "support" behemoth play whack-a-mole with requests for basic functionality that they're not going to implement to stop the vote numbers getting too high. Gives you some idea of what it's like being an opposition politician in Russia. >;-)
The link does not work...
- The page above doesn't seem to exist. Or at least the link is broken.
Try this one (with currently the most votes I could find):
