Agreed but what can few individuals even do when masses don't even care? We can try to use our privacy sensitive platforms and modular phones with open OSs but that will not really change anything. If my past experience has anything to go by, all it will do is, we will get shafted by overpaying for substandard experience.

I hate to sound defeatist but unless there can be a change in mainstream consciousness about it, it is mostly a lost cause.
