I'm not really sure what this proves. All it tells us is that majority of Americans will not download a contact tracing app.
There is nothing stopping Apple and Google from rolling this out in the OS, and they've both confirmed that they intend to do this[1]
"Later this year, Apple and Google will include the tool in software updates, meaning users can log contacts without having to download an app."
They have every right to make it involuntary if they want to, and the only recourse users have is to decide to stop using iPhones or Androids. I'm sure there will be some people that choose to do that, but not nearly enough to keep adoption below the necessary 60%.
