Tens of millions of people are asking Facebook for the Share button in case they want to share the content they're looking at.

Fixed that for you.

I have not yet met any person who has used, or wanted to ever use the share button of any of the tracking companies. On the other hand, I have met a lot of people who have no idea what that button does to their privacy.

Only the soul-less marketing drones without any sense of morality, ethics or empathy for others are asking for the share buttons, even if the only party profiting from them are the tracking companies.
