I personally care very much about my privacy, but people are people, and most people only care about what directly and immediately affects them. That's the problem with privacy concerns, the negative effects aresubtle and gradual. It's very hard to make people care for that reason.
It's the same reason why it's taken decades to take serious action against climate change. It's only in recent years with extreme weather events and record breaking temperatures that people are finally starting to care because they're finally experiencing the negative effects of climate change. But only to a certain extent, you're still not going to see many people trading in their vehicles for ebikes anytime soon.
What's the alternative anyway? Give up and suck Google's tit every day? It's "fine" if people who don't have the background to understand this issue do so. If you, having the background, do so, then you're a Google tit sucker.
