For instance, Assassin’s Creed Origins had subtitles turned off by default and 60% of players turned them on.

Since I started playing (and watching stuff) with subtitles, I realised just how much I’ve missed from poor sound mixing.

Now think about all the visual stuff you're missing while reading subtitles.

You don't. In The Netherlands we always watch with subtitles in theaters and at home for foreign movies/series (and sometimes even Dutch due to the mixing issues and trying to eat snacks ;) ). You read these without looking a them directly.

I'm from a non english speaking country too and I don't agree, subtitles are distracting and does make you miss stuff.

It's not a huge deal but I do prefer no subtitles if it's a language i understand.
