Nofollow links exist because we don’t want every single webpage or link to be something a search engine crawls and ranks. Therefore, nofollow link attributes tell search engine bots not to follow a certain link. The link is still clickable for a user, but not followed by a search engine bot.
On the other hand, all other links could be considered dofollow links, even though they don’t have to have particular attributes to tell the search engines bots to follow them; the bots will consider it by default.
