They are asking because auto opt-in drew the ire of legislators, now they have the "we asked!" defense. Of course as this and other (http://www.readwriteweb.com/archives/facebooks_high_pressure...) articles point out, the opt-in is both unclear and a bit forceful.
Also FB has had backlash before over making things public so they are trying to nip that in the bud beforehand by allowing the vocal minority who understands/pays attention to this stuff to opt-out while the masses just click the "Accept All" button.
