Privacy is a concern but it’s more a matter of conditioning. Every time you actively consent to it, you’re submitting to the conditioning and further enabling the system to move in this direction as a whole.

I remember, it must have been in the late '90s, when Windows added the ability to get "important security updates" via the internet and a lot of people were turning it off. I remember a comment on slashdot about how we would all become conditioned to accept it.

Wow, did they also predict we’d “become conditioned” to upgrade Windows without using a CD-ROM?

Note the difference between what you said: "here's a different way of doing a thing that you're already doing, and don't mind doing, and understand the reasong for doing"
...and the thing that I said: "here's a thing that you don't want to do, and don't see the need for, but don't worry because it wont happen often" (then over time it starts happening often.
The former is not conditioning. The latter is.
