Agreed (except for those specific examples). User experience is the gateway drug. As long as the standard keyboard shortcuts and preferences panel don't work right in Firefox, it doesn't matter how fast or standards-compliant the HTML rendering engine is.

Privacy is vegetables -- I know I should eat more, but I'm not going to go out of my way for it.

How about "Privacy is vegetarianism" instead? Just 20 years ago I'd have trouble going out for a meal in London because there was maybe one (one!) dedicated veggie restaurant in the whole city and lots of places didn't even offer an option on their menu.

Now, everywhere offers a vegetarian option, it's normal. What it took was dedication by fanatics* and to increase mindshare amongst the young. I'd venture that the same conditions would reap the same rewards with privacy.

* that's a wee joke… or is it? :-)
