I repeat myself, DarkSend is a feature. If you chose to buy a TV that integrates some new technologies do you consider this as a form of coercion ?
Absolutely, if a console tracks my eye movement claiming that it's the cool new game control method... I would completely feel coerced when this eye tracker keeps on checking me while I am NOT gaming.
I fail to see your point, if we use your example DarkSend permits on the contrary to protect your privacy. It's like saying "I don't like cash because I'm forced to be anonymous".
