I believe that there should always be a control for the end user to choose with. In fact, that's the foundational beauty of the open source-ness of the web.
Also, end of the day, its the end user who's at the using part of the phone/computer who would want what he wants. Taking away the control from him would only make him just accept what is on his plate. By giving him an option, the web is allowing him to choose to skip the beans if he does not want to. Even if the web would like to argue that the beans are good for him. Also, the one who's disabling it is more likely to know its effects(poor un-interactive webpages).

I'd like it if there would be a choice to enable/disable it. But what I also want would be is it being slightly less obvious for an average surfer to mess with.
