My "allow apps to ask to track" setting defaulted to off, too. Not sure what determines that, but in my case, I never even got the option to opt-in; the dialog never comes up because apps aren't even allowed to try asking me.

I'm presumably in that 96%, but it wasn't an explicit choice. (I'd have opted-out, obviously.)

I have an employer profile on my phone for email/internal app/etc and one of the things this does is force this setting off.
