So you think that non-savvy users don't deserve privacy?

That's definitely desirable. Heck, the snooping in question might already be illegal in California under the new CCPA. But I don't see federal legislation happening anytime soon, and the US is not the only jurisdiction lacking privacy protections. And while privacy laws can prevent snooping for advertising purposes, good luck convincing the government to outlaw snooping by intelligence agencies. Ultimately, legal and technical measures are not mutually exclusive, and we should use both.
