Let me tell exactly what will happen.

Step 1 - It's opt-in. Everyone chill
Step 2 - It's opt-in but the opt-in button is advertised during startup
Step 3 - "opting in in crucial for your safety and comfort" advertised everytime during startup
Step 4 - it's opt-out now but it can be turned off in settings
Step 5 - it's opt-out but the off button is hidden below 3 layers
Step 6 - the opt-out button is gone but can be turned off with a registry edit
Step 7 - sorry, it's a core component of W11

We are currently at Step 1

If you don't opt in you will miss essential security updates and you will become a terrorist
