I do care that it can be disabled. My problem with such functionality is that it becomes the sole focus of the development team, drifting their attention away from improving core experiences, such as language and plugin support, polishing ergonomics, and pruning papercuts.

The focus of the team is gone. Their target now is not to make a great product, but to make an engaging product that makes money however they can.

The AI is a symptom of the problem. If it weren't AI, it would be something else.

Is that not what your employer does?

It is, because they're VC-funded.
