They're very different situations, and equating the two is like equating piracy to theft; just because they have an overlap doesn't mean they're the same thing.

You don't see the same visceral reaction to CCTV, which is much more akin to the mass surveillance performed by Google et Al, but if someone walked up to you in a coffee shop and stuck a USB key into your laptop and said "it's just an anonymous keylogger, don't worry about it" you would likely get the visceral reaction you're talking about.
