It's not really about what users would answer on a survey. The point of the system is to turn off tracking on users that care enough to go press a settings button. This is an extremely small hurdle, but it's there for a reason. Because a lot of people that might say 'no' don't actually care. So the site can make a lot of tracking money without upsetting anyone.
