A person already has the option to opt out of premoves themselves. They achieve this by not making premoves.
As for their opponents, I guess I see no problem with people being able to filter it out, but I also can't relate to most of the complains about it, and thus don't see why it is necessary for someone at Lichess to put in the effort to make it possible.
I have no sympathy for anyone who considers premoves to be "rude" or "disrespectful". This is no different from people whining about their own arbitrary and inconsistent idea of "sportsmanship" when complaining about not getting rematches. It is too subjective, too impossible to actually define, so some random person's idea of what is "respectful" is not useful in any way. I don't feel personally offended when somebody makes a premove, and indeed I find the suggestion that I would to be laughable. It's a chess move.
I also disagree with the assumption expressed above that somebody making premoves is not taking chess "seriously." That is an embarrassing argument. As if there is only one appropriate way to play, and anybody who doesn't do exactly what you do is just goofing around and wasting time. Again, too subjective. Too easy to just make up your standard as you go, so you always have something to whine about.
