Did not agree to 'Help Apple Improve Search' in Spotlight - macOS users, did you?

Just looking through my settings and noticed that Help Apple Improve Search was checked - yet I am almost certain that I did not opt-in to this. Curious whether other macOS users have this checked and if so did you agree to it or did Apple do it without your consent?

I did not opt-in either, and mine was also checked.

Wow, people pay top dollar for their products and they want to pull data from their users? Seems greedy.
