Hopefully they let you set it as the default. For example, Instagram technically has a chronological feed but you need to go through some menus first

And also it doesn't stick. If you close the app it resets.

If there's gonna be legislation, it should work the other way round. People should have to opt-in to anything other than chronological sorting, and they should have to do it every time they open the app or pull up the webpage.
