Because they don't realize what it means. Maybe doxxing a John Doe (with his approval, of course), and then saying "now, Internet companies and intelligence agencies can do ten times more because they have even better tools and/or have access to even better data" - that may open some eyes.
Maybe someone should open a "doxx-me.org" website, that would let you doxx yourself. Of course this means it lets you doxx anyone, so it would be ethically questionable (well maybe that's more a suggestion for 4chan than for HN).
On the other hand, I think it's important to know what others can know about you using these tools - in other words which parts of your privacy are exposed.
