Indeed, although the phrase "confirmed opt-in" includes the fact
that "consent to be subscribed" was knowingly confirmed (at least in
the context of eMail, that is). The phrase "double opt-in" doesn't
go this far, which is why "less reputable" eMail marketers prefer
it.

I'd argue that COI is a nuisance for newsletters. Email marketers
would rather look for Javascript code that can automate subscriptions.
On the other hand, newsletters don't have the DMARC problem, so COI is
somewhat less relevant for them.
COI could be used to resolve the DMARC issue for mailing lists. It
would be sufficient to have the subscriber's mailbox provider run the
COI, instead of the mailing list manager. This way, that specific
list could be trusted for that specific user.
Isn't the whole point that recipient has to willingly confirm that the
newsletter/mailing list subscription was wanted by someone who owns the
provided e-mail address?
Because I don't understand how this can be replaces by Javascript or by
mailbox provider.
