Well, mine was re-enabled, and in the history of past requests I have two past requests to disable training that were granted. And there it was enabled again. This is baffling.
I wonder if it is because I do a lot of AI research.... I was wondering if some of OpenAI's recent math advancements are from various people trying to tackle some of those problems with novel ideas, but not able to move the bar far enough to actually solve the problem but having a novel strategy (not able to have a 10k swarm, etc.) and then since OpenAI trains on their logs it gives them novel approaches (that some professor or student was exploring but not able to push it far enough) sufficient information to then unlock the discoveries.

Not defending it, but training on books gave them a better product that people were willing to pay billions for.
Training on customer data will give them a product that nobody will pay for.

Where do you see this history? I'd love to check mine to confirm this

It's probably because they're running out of money.
Again, why would people trust a company that stole millions of books and have bad history with all these data retention to keep their private conversations safe?
