Why should doing experiments on ones bodily components be an opt-out situation?

Whether it be an opt-out or -in situation is beyond the topic of this question, but neither are applicable here.

There is nobody who has consented or is still able to consent to any experiments being conducted on his remains. Dudes a fucking disgusting stain on the canvas of humanity. Doesn't mean consent is void. Opt-out, in my original reply, was pointing to the fact you think that "the absence of a voice against consent" is effectively consenting.
