They seem to very much recognize that having nothing to hide is a privilege and are not arguing against the right to privacy, just arguing that it's really convenient to make use of that privilege personally.
Hardly anyone besides an accessory to the abuse would argue that someone shouldn't have ready access to privacy from their abuser.
The problem with spying is when you don't have a choice in the matter.
Consider LGBT youths who are closeted and whose parents would not not approve. Consider those with abusive current spouses who feel trapped and need support without their spouse interfering.
No. We still need privacy.
