Did they really decide? Default settings are a sort of a pre-decision made by someone else.

That has been intensely studied in behavioral economics and there is a lot of laws that addresses the fact that people actually tend to leave pre-made decisions in place. (This is used in, e.g. laws that regulate consent to organ donation.)

You could argue the wording was loaded or something, but it’s certainly not an “opt-in to tracking” situation.

You couldn’t proceed without picking one of the options.
