If you don't like the feature, then don't use it.
Every single proposal I've seen on this feature from the staff assumed that the filter will be enabled by default and could (perhaps) be disabled. Did I miss something?
My understanding is that the filter *software* will be enabled for all wikis. The default *setting* for that software will be to display all images, and then any individual user can choose their own settings apart from that default.

"All Wikimedia content loads on all user browsers by default. The feature is activated only after all content has been loaded, and then only when specifically requested by a user."
(A comparison: user email is enabled on all wikis. But users have to individually turn it on for it to work.)
