You technically do have an opt in moment during the iOS set up asking if you want to enable Location Services. If you say yes, then its turned on for system services, if you want to make any fine-tuned changes to your location services, then you can go into the settings and do so.
You can select no, and then have to go into settings later to manually turn on what you need.It's just one of the many location options so Apple is giving you a simple yes or no in the beginning or else the setup screens get way too cluttered.
If you initially chose not to turn on Location Services during setup, then it wouldn't be turned on without your permission. Similarly, if you had the original Find My iPhone option turned off, you need not worry because that also would not be turned on without your permission once you chose to activate Location Services and then turn Find My iPhone off sometime in the past.
For the phones that had Find My option activated when they rolled out the network, it was an upgrade and major improvement to an already activated feature that was already active and agreed to.
