The main selling point for Strava when it was introduced was to share the information to compete with any other person also using Strava. When first setting it up, at least when I did it years ago, is to set a privacy sector for which areas to not upload detailed route for. So in this case I would say it is the users fault to not understand that areas not set to private will be public available when you select to share your workout. The public available data to compete with others and the large userbase is the one reason to use Strava instead of any other fitness tracker
