Personally, I would argue that the feature is supposed to improve the initial experience of new users.
So, I would make it the standard out-of-the-box behavior.

Yes, I agree, it is only about the compliance at the moment.
Well, it was just a first idea in order to get the issue eventually resolved.

But your approach sounds good as well. Except, that as I said, I would go for the inverse default behavior and make strict checking an opt-in.

Best regards
