If it were some random startup that was going to be gone in 2 years anyways I wouldn't have to worry about being opted-in without my knowledge.

Make absolutely no mistake, when the average startup has failed and investors come for its assets, they sell any user data they can.

The acquisition of valuable user data is frequently used as a bargaining chip during funding negotiations.
