GP states correctly that they believe the default 'choice' of a user should be 'opting-
out
' of location tracking.

default "no" is called "opt-in"
pre-checked "yes" is called "opt-out"

This is utterly confusing the use of the terms. Opting is making a choice. The default isn't a choice. Opting by default makes no sense.

Yeah it is. What I mean is the default is you have not opted in. You must choose to opt in for this type of tracking. It should be a choice that doesn’t preclude you from using a service if you don’t allow tracking.
