Every normal person uses it daily, yes, but "without issue" is less obvious; that they don't notice being stalked or having their battery drain faster doesn't make it not a problem.

There's a ton of issues here, it's just most people either don't know them and don't realize the full implications. And some people just don't care because they feel powerless - "Yes I allow these companies to track me because what else can I do if I want to use mu devices like all other people do?"
