“The ability to disable the…feature during the setup process…” does not mean opt in, that means opt out.

Knowing windows setup, you need to click customize during the setup process and then go through several setup pages before you’re presented this option (or have to dig into additional/advanced settings to find it).

Most people won’t do this, won’t know how to do this, or will receive the pc with the initial setup complete and won’t know if this is on or off.

Remember when making a Microsoft cloud account was optional during Windows installs, and it was trivia to skip/opt out?

Pepperidge Farm remembers.

They are 100% going to do the same thing here.
