Facebook and Google have privacy intrusive defaults, where users who want the privacy friendly option have to go through a significantly longer process.
Before we cry wolf, we should remember there is no such thing as "free service" so, we have to trade something to get something "free"
The popups from Facebook, Google and Windows 10 have design, symbols and wording that nudge users away from the privacy friendly choices. Choices are worded to compel users to make certain choices, while key information is omitted or downplayed. None of them lets the user freely postpone decisions.
Also, Facebook and Google threaten users with loss of functionality or deletion of the user account if the user does not choose the privacy intrusive option.
