I wonder why voip is disabled by default. Seem really weird. I wonder if this is another attempt by DICE to reduce toxicity?
Like how they tried to reduce toxicity by removing the scoreboard, ability to text chat with the enemy team, and player stat tracking from Battlelog.

My guess is that this was the easiest way for them to add the required 'opt-in' (needed for privacy reasons). They cannot just turn that option on but would otherwise have had to ask the players for permission by some kind of dialog. The easier choice was to turn it off and have the users opt in manually.
The weird part is that it was enabled by default on PC. So opt-in only from console as far as I can tell.
Of all my times of playing BF since BF2, I have not heard one person use the VOIP. In fact I was asked to turn mine off in chat the other day in 2042.
