It isn't worth worrying about because you don't control other people. It is like a stereotypical fanatical vegan lamenting that they can become vegan but they can't make sure they never intact with a non-vegan.

If they somehow got on a deranged crusade about paper being an ill and attempted to switch to parchment based backing their complaints that everyone else uses paper would be just as insane.

That's not what I mean. I don't care if others are privacy-concious or not but I do care what others do with my information. Mapping that to the vegan example, it would be more like caring about if someone gave you a salad with meat hidden in it without telling you.
