Yes, but the whole world won't be developers. And many in the know just don't care.
You're talking about a population of 12 to 18 year olds. Even among the most responsible and least-easily influenced of them, social pressures absolutely dwarf any abstract concerns about corporations knowing a bit more about broke-ass you to try and sell you things.
Most of this population will take a short term gain for an uncertain consequence a few minutes later. You're talking about short term gain versus consequences that they may view as inevitable and occurring decades away.

We can teach them to protect themselves, pretend the problem doesn't exist, or say "aww shucks, all the cool people are being violated."
