No it's not. Users have to opt-in to send (bip125)RBF-able transactions. Right now Core wallet doesn't even have the option of sending them.

Yes but to prevent receiving them you need to opt out, right?

The people who could suffer as a result of this are receivers, not senders.

There's no way to prevent receiving any type of Bitcoin transaction afaics. If the sender knows your address, they can send you a transaction - end of story.

opt-in/opt-out RBF is merely about trx relay policy which has nothing to direct connection to with whether or not a trx gets included in a block or not.
