What if the head of your class drops the ball, intentionally loses, or pursues a different defense than the one you wanted to pursue?
Post a link to another patent case like this where this type of request has been granted and defendants weren't allowed to opt out of the class.

If I understand correctly, they are using the class action just to verify their right to enforce the patent. Individuals would be hit with the patent violations on a case by case basis.
They are just trying to prove the validity of their claim once, can't say that I blame them.
