The Physical Web setting corresponds to whether or not you've opted in. So, even though you've received the notification the first time, we ask for your opt-in before ever showing you nearby URLs.

Makes sense.  Seems like the initial notification would also be a good time to link to more info (i.e., what the option is in the first place, and how to opt in/out). I had no idea what it was (or that I could opt in or out) until a friend very familiar with Chrome explained it to me.
