I'd think that if they wanted to they could develop a DL version of MB without using RFID. That's what's probably economically unfeasible in the minds of the DL bean counters.
Or (I assume) they could limit the actions of the RFID to fall within CA privacy law. So it could link with a version of MDE (or the current DL app) and be used for transactions and etc, but not location tracking. I mean, there are RFID chips in some credit cards and those cards are 'legal' in Calif. I'm assuming those cards aren't tracking my every move (just every purchase). And IIRC some car rental companies use RFID in rental cars, supposedly for inventory control. They don't (supposedly) track you on the road, just cars in and out of the rental lots.
Or (again I assume) they could require 'informed consent' from guest to use a fully functional MB and provide an alternative (paper ticket) to people who object to being 'tracked'. Just like at WDW.
