Why would anyone agree to this?

Because the opt-out is hidden under the third pane behind the per party 1 by 1 drop-downs of the opt-outs for "legitimate interests", in a list of 120 "vendors" that require individual sub-pane drop downs and a radio button all having an "agree to selected" button that will immediately negate all your previous selections and just blast you to the content as if you "agreed to all".

If it was opt out, Facebook could get away with this. Apple is forcing their hand so people are presented with a fairly straight forward choice.

There's no opt-out, that's the whole point of the change.
