Sure. But the market is a good proxy. Investors are betting billions that people don’t care about privacy and so far that bet has been good

Facebook is a natural monopoly. People have to use it, whether they like it or not, whether they care about privacy or not.

Facebook's usefulness outweighs users' concerns about privacy, which leads me to conclude that users don't "actually" care about privacy. They might wish that Facebook were different, but that wish hasn't translated into loss of market share for Facebook.

No one has to use Facebook.

No one has to use electricity, for a uselessly narrow definition of "have to".
