Do you listen to music only with earbuds? Do you cover your face when going outside? Do you transform your voice for each person you’re talking to? Are you buying only with cash that you handled with gloves?

Privacy is not a binary concept. There are actions and information that some people are ok being public, and there are some they prefer to remain private.

What is not OK is spying and exploitation. I should know what data you’re collecting and preferably specify which I’m ok with. I also should know what is intended for and preferably for most of it to be anonymized.

Most people expect reasonable privacy policies from companies and they believe that there’s some regulation in place.

Absolutely, but if you ask/inform these people they will say "Well, guess I have nothing to hide." because they can't comprehend going without all their devices/services.
