The whole DNT concept was based on voluntary compliance by ad services. It’s a mechanism where people can ask them not to track them. As long as it is a small number of people making a deliberate effort to ask not to be tracked, it is plausible that ad services will comply. When Microsoft steps in and asks that none of it’s users be tracked, then that explodes the whole thing. There will be no voluntary compliance. Turning it on for everyone by default is the same as turning it off for everyone.
