Giving an email address for information or not, depends strongly on the attractivity
of the offer. If the offer is irresistible most visitors will sign up, regardless being single or double optin. Double optin will certainly give more trust on a short time scale and will rule out spelling mistakes in email addresses.
Personally I could imaging to be forced to apply double optin by law in order to give visitors some protection against scammer. More protection could be given by the market places who deliver space to sell products. I would suggest that those institutions would ask for the proof of the pudding before giving the product free for selling. At least the disclaimer should be read carefully. Where ar we going with these business if information products are offered under a disclaimer assuring good entertainment?
Yes, of course if the offer isn’t attractive they will never opt-in no matter if it’s double or single opt-in. You are also correct, some places now require mailing list to be double opt-in by law.

Hey Gabriel,
