Uh.. doesn't it say OPT-OUT is an acceptable browser default?

Yes. Also defaults matter.

Countries that have opt-in default on organ donations have at most around 30% of consent.

Those that have opt-out have above 90% consent.

Basically Mozilla is saying: "It your decision to not be tracked." and thinking "But we think you should allow everyone to track you if you don't mind that much."
