Reading the new replies from Bobby Holley (Mozilla CTO) on that reddit thread (why was this statement only published on reddit?)...
I'm struck by the fact that every reply places emphasis the technicalities of the feature rather than the actual root cause of concern here - people feel as if their consent was violated by the automatic enabling of a feature that they assessed was not in their best interests (for good reasons).
There is no getting around that with privacy engineering.
