What’s wrong with someone seeing that you are typing?

Seriously.

At the very least, they're seeing when you're starting to type something, then decide not to type at all. Generally, when you do that the intent is send nothing. Not send "I almost said something, but nevermind".

To me this is a breach of privacy.
