No. Everyone won't. It's frankly a ton of work to do the tracking and another ton of work to process it and do anything about it, and there's not a lot of benefit to it to be had without revealing you're doing it - this will backfire. They are trying to normalize not having privacy, because that is kinda Meta's specialty, but I don't think it will catch on, even at Meta, in the long term. They'll lose too many good people and they'll have to take it back.

How can this be seen as a victory?

The "victory" is literally "pwning the libs." The thought process is, "Anything that denies them something that they want makes them weaker and us stronger." The base rallies and cheers, and meanwhile Trump and his cronies go back to extracting ungodly amounts of wealth from the entire world's resources.

If they leave them there, the next administration might be able to switch them back on and start gathering woke climate science data again.

Kinda unlikely. If you leave anything sitting under the ocean, it's going to experience significant wear and tear. If there's no budget even to monitor the status of the monitors, let alone conduct routine maintenance, they're likely to be as good as junk by the time they're switched back on.

Literally hundreds of scientific papers have been published using data from the OOI

Not to mention that the data is also used in industry, particularly in farming and fishing, where it is used to predict climate-related events. And this aren't just long-term events we're talking about. "Where are the fish likely to be this year" is a question this data can help answer.
