My point exactly: if that was a serious concern, Facebook would have no users.

Which would make the service too expensive for me.

I don't use Facebook for the same reason.

But as I mentioned in the top level comment, this is a concern for me because I'm probably more privacy-conscious then an average user so I might not be exactly the type of user they're building for.

It could very well be a serious concern for you, but not a serious concern for most people. But then everyone has their own different serious concerns so if they're adjusting it here and there for everyone that would be a misallocation of efforts. So I think because of that it's more useful, at least for the developers of a product, to consider a larger set of users than a niche concern of a minority set of users.
