They aren't.

FYI, from `man mke2fs` ("mke2fs 1.38 (30-Jun-2005), Using EXT2FS Library
 version 1.38"):

-O feature[,...]
  Create  filesystem  with given features (filesystem options),
overriding the default filesystem options.  *Currently, the sparse_super
and filetype features are turned on by default* when mke2fs is run on a
system with Linux 2.2 or later (unless creator-os is set to the Hurd).
[..]
  dir_index
    Use hashed b-trees to speed up lookups in large directories.
