users don't opt-in to ads/tracking. Facebook is worried because they want it to be complicated and confusing to opt-out.

It's really a lot simpler than that: users don't change default settings. Some studies say only 5% of users change any settings at all [1][2]. So Facebook is concerned that their ability to track about 95% of their people will simply disappear.
