Can one filter be always selected by default?

I am not sure if it is good user experience to have one filter always pre-selected by default. Can't use a toggle, because of the consistency issues with other pages. But I would like to keep all empty options hidden by default.

Another idea is to have a checkbox, by selecting it users will see hidden items. But there might be issues with responsive design, so I would prefer the first option. enter image description here

Thank you.
