The current system where we can choose between security and convenience is good enough for me. I loath those who would take that choice away from me.

First of all, I said privacy, not security. Huge difference.

That aside, I am not advocating for less choice, merely observing that in many cases users willingly give up their privacy (or other rights) for convenience. Your reaction to my observation actually proves my point.
