No, DNT was completely meaningless from the moment it was proposed. Enabling it by default was just Microsoft pointing out that the emperor had no clothes. I don't even agree with you that it was well-intentioned; IMO it was a bad faith effort to push a non-fix, to try and hoodwink people into not calling for regulation and/or technical solutions with actual teeth.
Solutions which require cooperation from hostile attackers (i.e. advertisers) are not solutions.
