I don't like the feature for various reasons. It isn't a feature for users. It's a feature to drive revenue. That isn't a bad thing though. There isn't anything wrong with making money off free software.
It's still a problem because it's implemented "their way". Ask DropBox (or, well, the many banks and financial instritutions with data breaches) how closed-source implementations of security worked for them. Even a free open source implementation of that policy can't be without its flaws. The bottom line is when you have such a feature introduced it's not a matter of if it will fail but when. Making money comes in many different models. Pre-installing some opt-out 'maybe we'll get it right this way, you know, we're not perfect, sorry!' feature is not how I see this going forward.
