It genuinely hurts my soul that this is a complete argument.

The idea that users could or should have preferences - to be responsible to opt (in or out) in any capacity is an unreachable goal.

It's frustrating that a lazy or evil developer can so easily convinve the masses to give up privacy simply by dangling a shiny just outside the default security safeguards.
