Think about it from the researcher's perspective. They're used to being asked all the time to justify why their research matters. In fact, it's critical that they do so in order to get funding.
If they answer, "well, privacy is important for everyone" or "corporations can use this to serve more targeted ads," most people are going to say, "who cares?" -- or at least that it's less important than other projects the agency or foundation could be funding. If they talk about political dissidents and journalists, then it becomes much easier to make the case that it matters.
