I think Terry may have been saying that there are MUAs already in use which do not display images by default, or cannot at all.  For example, pine, elm, mailx.   There's not going to be any burden to end users of these, as there's nothing to swtich off.  

To Dave's point, if MUA maintainers adopt BIMI in MUAs for which logo display makes sense (from their perspective) and they turn logo display on by default, for people who find logos annoying there will be a burden to turn them off, if such an option is provided.
