Marketing should always be OPT-IN by default, but these extra steps to opt out is truly asshole design.

Oh, and on the opt-out confirmation screen, you get two options: Yes or No. The button colour for "yes" is white, and the “no” button matches the “save” button on the previous screen, so it's easy to accidentally cancel the opt-out. Double-asshole design!

Interesting. I've only ever owned a lower end Motorola android phone, and it only had minimal tweaks to vanilla android. But I've never heard of this feature on other phones, so I wonder if it's a Motorola feature/tweak and not and Android one.

It wouldn't make it any better, since that sounds like a terrible feature to have automatically enabled!

It's an Android feature, added in 13.
