I remember the opposite problem where users have complained that there
are green checkmarks everywhere and we had to tell them to disable
that option.

That would be my inclination. If I specifically exclude a folder, then
by default I would not expect to see any green checkmark unless I
tweaked some other setting to turn them back on in a limited way.
One thing which might help is moving that checkbox down next to the
exclude list so that it is more obvious what it is connected with.
