Should there not be an opt-out option though?

There is: Use something else.

I don't mean this in a snippy way, but truly. If it's that bothersome, why not try something else? It seems that most people instead think that they have the privilege to change the product to their desires.

Because the "something else" lacks other features. Are you suggesting that users shouldn't have "the privilege" to suggest new features or discuss already existing features?
