It's not mistaken for consent, only if you dont switch it off the data is sent.

Inaction is not consent.

Wrong again, the "switch" only sets the setting itself, but before finishing the setup process the user would be provided with a confirmation detailing the data that would be sent and provided with the option to send it or not. The process would have user consent.
