If that were true, there wouldn't be opt-out options.

The fact is that opt-out options exist.

For example, T-Mobile makes it easy to opt out of SMA diagnostics:

Google makes it easy to opt out of "Google & location" data tracking:

Google also allows easy opting out of 3rd-party application tracking:

Even the Nova launcher allows easy opting out of "error & usage" reporting:

*Clearly people "do" opt out, because these options exist.* 

In fact, those screenshots are all from last night on "my" phone after I
factory reset it, since I do that monthly given I change hundreds of
settings a month to see what they do.

It's clear you don't even understand the question, or that you have nothing
of value to add to the question for *anyone* to benefit from.

This thread is simply asking others if they disable carrier tracking.
