I can't see anything wrong with the opt-out screen during Android setup [1] The option you refer to says, "Help improve your Android experience by automatically sending diagnostic and usage data to Google." There is a separate option which says in part, "Anonymous location data will be sent to Google, even when no apps are running". That seems pretty clear to me - I can't see any dark pattern.

C'mon... Google maps will ask me turn my GPS every damn time I use it; no way "to remember this choice", but if I activated it, it is super happy to remember it.

Still don't see anything wrong?
