Some folks won't know. The solution, force Amazon to ASK their customers to turn it on. Why should the users bear the responsibility of opting out?

Would you welcome a pilferer into your house who regularly stole change from your piggy bank even if he agreed not to come into your house if you asked him not to? Suppose you didn't know he was coming into your house? Would it okay then, after all he's not stealing much, just a little change, maybe scoping out your house to tell his burglar friends what you have — but, for now, he's promised not to tell them. What's the problem?

If Amazon asked first there would be no problem. They know damned well a lot of people won't know how to turn it off, or will forget about it and their mesh will slip in through the cracks, whether it's wanted or not. Amazon is getting sleazier by the minute.
