What about "illegal" things? You could live in a country that punishes gay people and want to ask questions about being gay. Maybe you live under a tyrannical government and want to ask questions about the government or politics without raising any red flags on your name or IP. Maybe you overstayed your visa in the US and are worried about ICE putting out honeypot sites to find your location when you are trying to research options on how to get a work visa or how to escape the US without getting arrested at the border and sent to prison. Is it being overly paranoid? Maybe in most cases yes. But we know the capability and desire exists for certain governments and agencies to locate and punish people and we know it does happen, even if it isn't super common.
