There's a setting you can turn on called "Automatically add Google Meet video conferences to events I create"[1].
I tested on a new account and the default was on, which you might argue is bad, but when I tried to create my first calendar event there was a popup that told me that it was on and gave me the option to turn it off.
Plus when you create a event the option to include a Google Meet is right there and it's one click to remove.
