It’s great that you can give informed consent, but the average person has no idea what tech can or cannot do. I regularly amaze people by showing them Google Translate’s AR mode, and that tech was demonstrated 7.5 years ago, their knowledge of surveillance technology is so poor that describing standard business practices makes me sound like a conspiracy nut to many of them.

Governments are just as out of touch, judging by a UK cyber-security report that the BBC reported on a few months ago, or by the way Zuckerberg and the US Congress interacted.
