Asking you, and having you grant them permission is one thing. Just doing it without even asking is another.

It doesn't "share" my internet connection in that way. No one is going to hopping on my WiFi and surfing the web, if I leave that option enabled.
Lots of options are "on" by default, in many apps. Part of using internet devices is learning about them, and being aware of settings and options. Just because some users don't do that, isn't the fault of the company.
