For my money, I can't help but think of people who have legitimate reasons for wanting privacy and how my relative lack thereof deprives them of it. For every one of us that has a well defined presence, it becomes that much easier to spot people who hide, and like you say, there are perfectly legitimate reasons to do so.
I would venture out even and say that categorically, there are unjust laws that people should be able to hide from - I would want to help them do that. By creating a culture that respects privacy, we insulate ourselves against a lot of the damage that can be done by a poorly managed legal system / toxic culture / opportunistic economic structure. I was just recently reading about how the military buys adtech data to track foreign nationals. I feel like we're living out a Gibson novel.
I do try to "fuzz" my presence as much as possible, because of this. However, like you mention, it ain't easy.
