If I told you that I like cheese sandwiches, then no. However, in normal, human interactions there's the reasonable expectation that if I tell you something, you won't go and sell it to the highest bidder who can then in turn do whatever they please with the information and further propagate it.

The problem is that tech companies don't treat their users as humans and don't follow basic conventions and common sense.
