>People don't just hand over their wallet, they chose the amount to tender in a transaction, which is the most they could lose. This is a good analogy for the tech-minded, but I think it may not be as applicable to the non-tech-savvy. To many general users software is an abstract black box unlike a tangible wallet which they intuitively have an understanding of the contents. When most people take their car to an auto mechanic they aren't prepared to say, "When you plug in your computer, only access the wheel speed sensor data and anti-lock braking software. Don't touch the fuel-mapping, car speed, infotainment, or GPS data." All they want is their car to drive again. They may not know enough of what's going on under the hood and, I suspect, would be more likely to blindly sign over whatever data the mechanic says they "need".
