This means around 85% of people will use and benefit from the feature under opt-in by default, vs. 2% under opt-out by default. That's a 42x increase in people using a feature at the cost of 15% of people having to take action to opt out.
Wow, its almost like people don't want to use that kind of feature and metric chasing demands you change it to opt-in so that management can show shareholders the "LOOK HOW MUCH ENGAGEMENT WE HAD IN FISCAL QUARTER X! GIMME BONUS!" graphic board.
