That may be true, but most people still benefit indirectly from the actions of the few who do have something to hide (e.g. protestors, journalists, whistleblowers).
If we want the masses to continue to benefit from the actions of those few, then we need to find a middle ground. Someplace where the masses are private enough that a truly private individual can hide among them without sticking out like a sore thumb. You don't need to hide, you just need to be able to hide.
