Counterpoint to your counterpoint: Living in flyover country surrounded by people with at best a high school education has taught me MANY things about how the public consumes tech. They have no idea what is possible with technology. They literally do not and cannot comprehend what can be done with their information online. To the folks I interact with, it's almost magical how it works. They trust, as another comment points out here, that someone is taking care of whatever trail they leave (if they even understand that's a thing). They trust that tech companies are acting in their best interests. Maybe that's just anecdotal data from my experience, but it's my experience.
