It is good enough. I wouldn't have cared if they did make paid users opt out. I think it's a courtesy to their paid users, not an attack on their free users, that they allow paid users to opt in instead of opting out.

Also, there's no way they developed a whole separate system for this. It's likely a single line boolean check.
