If it troubles you, it's still very easy to avoid being surveilled by most of these systems. Pay cash instead of using a credit card. Don't use EZ-Pass. Turn off your phone when you're not using it. Yes, it is inconvenient, but trading privacy for convenience means you don't value it very much. People got along fine before EZ-Pass came along.
Until we have mandatory legislated tracking devices in cars, etc. (not a far-fetched idea at all, and something that must be fought), you are largely the keeper of your own privacy.

You forgot to mention: never have a utility bill, or a mortgage, or a car... "Do it yourself" is no longer an effective option.
