I’ll contain my skepticism until I see what these opt-in messages look like. Some of the Bing Chat and CoPilot and connecting to a MS account was designed to make people think it was required, and came up repeatedly after being dismissed. “Dark Patterns” to use a term du jour.
I’m pretty sure the main picture on the article is what the revised opt in/out message looks like. Previously it was opt in with just a message describing the feature with a check box to have it open Settings when you were finished with the out of box experience so that you can look at the options later.
That’s how this works, isn’t it? Nobody reads past the headline. Everybody feels about it super strongly, just not strongly enough to actually read about it.

This might not be Reddit, but the Reddit behavior is still here.
Might just be internet/human behavior really.
It was opt out before, not opt in, and you made the changes subsequent to install.
