You can use the following code to set the default checkbox value in ui_component

<form>
<fieldset>
    <field name="myCheckbox" formElement="checkbox">
        <argument name="data" xsi:type="array">
            <item name="config" xsi:type="array">
                <item name="default" xsi:type="boolean">true</item>
            </item>
        </argument>
        <settings>
            <label translate="true">Enabled</label>
            <tooltip>
                <description translate="true">This is my checkbox's description</description>
            </tooltip>
        </settings>
        <formElements>
            <checkbox>
                <settings>
                    <prefer>toggle</prefer>
                    <valueMap>
                        <map name="false" xsi:type="boolean">false</map>
                        <map name="true" xsi:type="boolean">true</map>
                    </valueMap>
                </settings>
            </checkbox>
        </formElements>
    </field>
</fieldset>
