Of course.

But do you want to live without a house, a job, running water, electricity, internet, a cell phone, a car, etc.?

Point a gun to my head and I'd still feel like I had a better chance of getting out of that situation than opting out of credit reporting.

Actually, that's an interesting thought - in areas where hookups to utilities are required by laws (usually described as "Grid Defection") for a residence to be legally occupied... if all that is true then is this opt-in really an opt-in even in an abstract legal sense - it would be illegal to reside in a detached house in the state without opting in to such a service.
