To be clear, DNT being enabled by default was probably more harmful to DNT than helpful. DNT should have been a choice from users and a clear indication of intent; by making it Default, there was no conscious decision like there is with Ad-blocking. DNT should have been (be) the clear message from users they do or do not want something, an undeniable response to over-reaching TOSes. Microsoft making it default felt less like something to help consumers and more just bandwagoning. Whether or not DNT was particularly effective as a means of __blocking__ tracking has always been irrelevant. The point was the __message__ sent by those who enabled it.
