To opt-in to something means to consent to it, to enable it, to take action to have it.
So "opt-in by default" doesn't make any sense.

Sun poured billions into Java; is it so bad to ask for one of the biggest benefitors to share the profits?
Turns out it's easier to let your mind wander if you're busy with a simple activity, like walking:
> I understand emacs's architectural reasoning for it -- and that is a choice.
I think the choice they make is to spend their very limited time on more useful features. I'm sure many of the core Emacs developers would be very happy if someone would fix this limitation. It would be a very invasive change, a fair amount of work.
