>/etc/default/devpts
This file is used by sysvinit when mounting /dev/pts.
systemd doesn't use it. It mounts /dev/pts with mode=620 by default.
>/etc/login.defs
As far as I can see, TTYPERM from login.defs is used only by login(1)
and sometimes¹ by su(1). If you log in through SSH, or run xterm(1) or
screen(1) or... it won't have any effect.
It's all awful and undocumented.
