This use of opt-out is really an extreme edge case to be honest. There is such a heavy emphasis on civic duty, part of which is to vote in all kinds of elections, that even though the system might strictly be an opt-in voting system, everybody _expects_ you to have already opted-in. To be honest, as somebody not from the US, I don't even understand why you need to go through any hoops to vote. All of it just seems like voting suppression to me. Anyway, this strong social expectation to vote is the only reason you can even remotely say that you are "opting-out" of voting. Any other case, where a decision to be made only exists really as a feature in the UI, there is a much tighter relation between the implementation of the UI feature being by default on (thus "opt-out") and the way that we speak about it being "opt-out". If thus, by their own admission, there are things to opt-out of, then this is by definition an opt-out feature. Claiming the opposite is disingenuous.
