The article says "opt-in" many times, but my experience as an Apple user, with many devices, is that Apple automatically opts you into analytics, and you have to opt out.

I just got a new MacBook and I felt reasonably inundated with requests to opt in to things.

They ask you every time you setup a new device / upgrade the OS whether you want to share analytics or not. It is opt-in but you just need to click a single checkbox: https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/3705482/142927547-64426caf-95a8-4c21-9b1c-a7d5e0691361.png https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/3705482/142927547-...

  That looks to me like Apple opts you in, and you have to opt out.

    Yes just clarifying that you are re-asked every time you upgrade your OS. So it's not like Apple is just quietly opting you in.
