Your argument is against fundamental freedoms that humans have granted one another, which have allowed civilization to improve over time (with "bad times" alongside). Anyone against dictatorial (not the benevolent kind) powers would never argue for everyone to be micro-chipped and tracked, disallowing all cash, etc. Even in democratic setups these kind of additions and restrictions tweak the power asymmetry significantly, and are causing a lot of human suffering. In short, these moves aren't great for humanity as a whole.
