Probably because nobody cares about Opera doing that since the ones pointing this out are at least privacy aware people that won't use Opera. It is also a problem when Brave does it because it is a "privacy focused" browser. They sure have the balls to do this.

Opera was also 100% up front about it and sold it as a feature. They didn't sneak it into installers and crap. IMO that's the issue, the lack of communication.
