What is it with SV tech companies having this terrible habit of thinking not getting a no is the same as consent, then making the ability to express your choice

What is it with SV tech companies having this terrible habit of thinking not getting a no is the same as consent, then making the ability to express your choice as contemptible and difficult as possible? When Digital Wellbeing rolled out, users widely reported disabling it restored the sudden decreases to performance and battery life they were experiencing, and the response to that from the Pixel/Android teams was a little bizarre. First, they issued a base denial. "Digital Wellbeing has no measured impact on the performance or battery life of your device, and if you think disabling will help, it will not." Later, they made that true by removing the explicit toggle to disable it, doubling down on integration and lumping it into "Digital Wellbeing & parental controls". There's also no mention or warning of its purpose - data collection for metrics and usage. There's now a "manage data" sub-menu that leaves the collection service running but gives a few options to turn down how much of what kinds of data are sent, but you've got to manually remove all permissions and stop it in adb if you want it "off".
