And the advertising industry used the default DNT status to justify ignoring DNT since it was no longer opted into by users.

Then again, even before that DNT as an idea was dead – very few advertisers even signaled they were interested in user privacy.

Not making a statement on the validity or realisticalness of the DNT header, but the irony of advertising companies arguing that opt-out models are bad because they "dont reflect consumer choice" is rather amusing.
