Almost everyone I've met in crypto cares about these things.
Sure it is probably not even 1% of projects by number and there are plenty of frauds/scams (which are oviously illegal without any new laws) and even more just really terrible ideas (whatever happened to caveat emptor?), but there absolutely is a sizeable core of projects, founders, devs, and researchers that cares deeply about privacy, freedom from coprorate/government surveillance and control, open source and open protocols, and building a very different online, digital future than the one we are currently headed for.
I think that's worth the effort. Even if that might fail, and even with the collateral damage from scams and fraud (which, again, are already illegal). We accepted cars despite the deaths and injuries and pollution (which we also deal with legally and try to minimise without destroying the benefits of having cars), and they reshaped our society. I expect crypto and privacy tech. to do the same in time. It may even take as long.
