I think he's proposing that it's not privacy that's the problem, but society's laws and morality that require us to use privacy to protect ourselves.

If no one had to be punished under unjust laws for living a decent life transparently, why would privacy be beneficial?

Under your scheme, do workers in the military enjoy privacy while they work? If they don't how do you protect the citizens? If they do---and if they are the only people who enjoy privacy in your land of forced transparency---how does this not stabilize to a military dictatorship?
