thats super sad…I dont have a problem with someone not wanting chit chat but isnt better to just say “hey, today I am not in much mood to talk” or to show it and to make it happen without explicitly selecting it in an app…
I would imagine the type of person who wants to avoid chit chat during a transaction is often the same type of person who would feel anxious about seeming rude if they outright said “I’m not in the mood for chit chat, please don’t talk to me.”
Being that exact type of person, this option seems like a godsend to me, and no more “black mirror-esque” than selecting “leave at the door” when ordering food delivery.
I need to get my hair done but I’m too anxious to be confrontational in almost any way so I usually have to awkwardly nod and agree during the appointment because I’m also too anxious for conversation. Being able to make that choice without having to feel like I’m an asshole would help.

Nah I get it. Hairdressers (in my personal experience at least) have always seemed weirdly offended when I said I have said something similar.
