They’re not opt-in when the government is fully captured. They’re not opt-in like every battle against corporate takeover we’ve lost over the last several decades, from net neutrality to effective monopolies to Musk wreaking havoc in the government.
Even without government/regulatory capture. The network effect makes not participating more costly as the network grows. Meaning you can still lose even if you don't play.
That’s the idea.
