It's not about making AI features optional, it's about not adding AI features AT ALL.
Rather than incentivize streamers to create worthwhile community spaces, AI features will saturate the space with mediocre slop content relying on shock value and diminish audience valuable interactions to a minimum; essentially killing your platform and whatever revenue you're hoping to achieve with such a move.
Take a good look at the art sites that adopted AI features. There's nothing but algorithm induced generic generative content with empty commentary spaces; no real depth or discussions whatsoever.
Also do you really wanna waste years and resources on enforcing content policy on AI when souless repetitive slop channels start to surface?
If Youtube is already taking measures to mass terminate AI content hurting their fulltime creators, then make the wise choice and dodge the bullet instead.
