There are (at least) 2 types of MO, and the split may partially be related to what you’re asking. A guy who doesn’t wear a hat, went to college, etc., but is shomer torah umitzvos and has a torah-centric hashkafah, is probably going to go with da’as torah (although, since he’s going to ask different rabbonim, he’s going to get a different da’as torah, but I don’t think that matters for what you’re asking). OTOH, a guy who’s MO meaning follows 85% of shulchan oruch and feels yiddishkeit is a nice thing for Jews to do is not going with da’as torah in any way shape or form. And there’s a lot of that latter type around.
