That's an entirely possible and probable step that seemed logical from their perspective.

What would have made more sense is if they would have added an option at the account level to turn data off: Period. This would have absolutely resolved the issue you mentioned, but of course it would not have allowed them to funnel folks towards an automatic and mandatory data add on, that presumably includes and additional profit margin for the carrier.
