FCC Wants Cell Phone Theft Tech to be 'Opt Out' → What's the real interest?

Setting aside the notion that the FCC cares deeply about theft of cell phones in the capacity of personal property loss, I have to wonder.... what's the real motivation for wanting that on by default?

Remote disable the phone of a man on the run from the law. You cant call your accomplices now without 1. knowing their number (contacts r lost) 2. finding a payphone

And the authorities cannot track the phone and it's criminal user when it re-appears on the grid.

Make burner phones illegal as tools of criminals. Just like walking down a street with a pry bar can get you stopped and questioned.

Sure, make sure *all* tracking features are always on. These are not just communication devices, they are also our GPS collars. More data for the pool.
