That's good points Schneier does not make in this post imho. The conditioning / slippery slope argument also applies to countries that currently go with the, imho, more sensible architecture of DP3T. We've seen worrying calls for including a bunch of additional features in Germany, e.g. (voluntary) epidemiological data collection and an "immunity pass" (not from the government yet but still, worrying). I think the privacy community, at least in my bubble of the internet, was excited that the scientific consensus of DP3T > PEPP-PT/ROBERT/(the NHS approach) won out over lobby interests and from their perspective was deemed the safer option.
It's not like they aren't discussing the broader implications of digital contact tracing from a bunch of angles, and I see calls for evaluating the proportionality and efficacy of these apps on Twitter pretty much daily. OTOH I don't really see how shallow dismissals of "it's plain dumb" like this blog post help the overall discussion honestly.
