People only see privacy issues, after they have been used against them, and further, after they have had detrimental impact. Look at how for decades, people cited Facebook privacy concerns, about their tracking, and data collection policies. People were discussing this, railing against it, for 15 years before it caused election interference(Cambridge), and deaths world wide(civil wars). Most people, including those in the industry, just did not care. Facebook is fun! We make money using it! Who cares! This is quite typical human behaviour. As an example, I note how people who have been worried about Facebook for decades, think using cash is weird. Meanwhile, banks collect immense data about people, share that data with others, including associative data. Banks know more about you than Facebook, and even use their power to restrict cash usage. One day, if this decades long, slow trend continues, two human beings will be unable to exchange money, without a third party being involved. Considering that the US government already tracks many forms of payment in the US, post 9/11, and secondly, purchases tracking info from private corps, anyone who worries about privacy? Well. Such people should be using cash as exclusively as possible. But what do you see from tech inclined privacy advocates? Paying with NFC or RDIF on their phones. Using credit cards. Complaining about cash. Not carrying cash. Not using cash. The battle to retain anonymous fiscal transactions is more important than online tracking, for there is little "out". EG, you can leave your phone at home, but you still must pay for things somehow... So do not be surprised. People only care about privacy after death, destruction, and political destabilization. They only care, after, not before. Convenience first, after all!
