Scholastic found that it either had to give in to the hardliners who wanted to ban books for children or to not allow that, and they seem to have decided to give in.

Opt in makes it less likely a teacher orders it by accident. And they called it things like "stories of inclusivity". It's pretty on the nose that they support these books and are calling out those who wouldn't as being "uninclusive".
