Their original reaction (posting a page telling people how to turn it off), which I noted, helped address the privacy issue by offering a fix, but still presumed data mining was ok with folks (which it isn't by me), because the app shipped with the store enabled by default.
Their latest reaction (default off and detailed info -within the app- ), which you noted, helped address the PR issue and the privacy issue by presuming people should be informed
first, and seems to have shipped with the warning enabled, rather than the store itself.
Related threads and solutions... looks like the blogosphere is gaining leverage...
hopefully Apple learns the bigger lesson about presuming privacy and starting with clear information and intent.
