You should probably add to the equation that in the past scenario the government is still systematically collecting information about your location, they just don't use it for contact tracing.

In 2021, there is not really a question about whether your government is going to track most people's movements - the question is actually if that should be used for productive uses also. Which is a difficult question, don't get me wrong, and arguably more interesting.
