Making it opt-in is a much better way to offer this ridiculous "feature". But I wager there will be future shenanigans. MS is very sneaky and passive-aggressive about pushing sketchy unwanted shit on its customers.
"whoops, a bug turned it on for everyone. But it's okay, just manually opt-out again, haha. sorry. our bad"
