tshaddox didn't say anything to imply that people couldn't opt out, so I think you're beating a strawman. They pointed out the seeming change in expectations in this thread (where SSID location mapping collection being opt-out is outrage) vs the phone book (which, sensitive PII was broadly shared by a profit-motivated entity that had no relationship with you and you have to opt out to not be included). If anything, SSID location is generally less sensitive than your name + phone number + city.
