Of course giving the option to opt out without consequences will entice people to opt out. But what if the software stops working unless you pay for it after you opt out? That changes everything.

Then the question is no longer "Am I okay with tracking if I can shut it off and everything's still the same," but becomes "Am I okay with tracking if it means I don't have to pay for the software or service?"
