Oh come on. Pistols don't shoot you in the foot BY DEFAULT, such that you have to work to "OPT OUT" in order to avoid being shot in the foot.
There's a world of difference between "It can do X" and "It does X by default unless you go out of your way to make it do something else".
I just got the update that added this "feature" on my phone. It wasn't enabled by default, and I didn't enable it.
