I disagree about what the bare minimum is. It's not uninformed. They tell you about it, and tell you you can opt out. I don't really see how that would be them doing it without permission.

    Why isn't "it's informed and you can just opt out" good enough for paid users? They could've developed a single system instead of two if that's a sufficient standard of care for users' data.

    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.
