this is not true since 16.04 anymore i think (also the wiki is pretty
outdated as you can see by the old theme of the screenshots (they are
from 12.04 or so)). 

the UI changed into the two dialog setup, data is anonymized, whoopsie
got massively improved since it got added in 12.04 to not massively hit
system ressources anymore. check a 16.04 install (if you have one), you
should see "enabled=1" in /etc/default/apport there.

dont trust wiki data ... it is usually outdated ;)
(but you can indeed at any time change and improve it as you noted
yourself, feel free ;) )
