What is Passive exploitation in poker?

A GTO strategy gains expected value against an opponent that deviates from optimal play. This gain is called passive exploitation because the GTO player doesn't actively change their strategy to gain edge. It's worth noting that only pure mistakes (as opposed to mixing mistakes) will result in a loss for the non-GTO player.
