      I think forcing all posts to be opted-in to the search, and depending on users to opt-out, would be far more controversial? Either way, the user does get to control this within the platform.

        Not all. The option is just about public ones anyway. Unlisted and private posts are not searchable. That’s why Unlisted and Private options for writing posts exist. Restricting search for PUBLIC posts makes no sense at all.
