Default Defrag

Does anybody know--I mean really know--what Avid's official position is on defragging? I did a search on this and found some opinions, but nothing about what Avid says about it. I'm running Pro Tools 12.5 in a Windows 10 computer. A computer builder/repairman advised me a couple years ago that I shoujd defrag every day using Auslogics free disk defragger, no matter what I was using the computer for. I've been doing that, and my opinion is that it helps. Plus, doing it daily takes less than 5 minutes. However, I've seen some opinions expressed in this forum saying not to defrag. I even saw one that said Avid didn't recommend defragging, but they didn't refer to where Avid said that. I defrag my C drive, my D drive, and my backup F drive daily with the Auslogics defragger, but I've started to wonder if I should only do my C drive. If somebody can point me to what Avid has to say about this, I'd appreciate it.
