100% this. Hopefully by the end of the decade data collection will default to opt-in rather than opt-out.

No, it will just be all server side and you won't have any choice.

Good, server-side data is harder to fingerprint and track.

It’s pretty trivially easy to set a first-party cookie or ID for a user in local storage for non-logged-in users.
Of course for SaaS all product usage is logged-in so fingerprinting doesn’t really apply.

You can't set or read local storage from the server. As for first-party cookies, not only can those be blocked, as they don't let the server track across sites, which is the most annoying part.
