I am not entirely confident in this but from my perspective, a simplistic reading of what you say appears to be "I want privacy but only if I don't have to endure even minor inconveniences for it."

This may never happen unless privacy was as profitable as selling data on people's behaviour.

My apologies if I have misunderstood you.

You put a gram of sarcasm on your simplistic reading, but I think you need to realize that anything people use daily, even hourly, needs to make them feel comfortable. For whatever reason, the poster you're replying to is bothered by him but for something he has to deal with so often, it's hard to override that feeling.

I guess what I'm really saying is that frequently used things probably involve human phycology and emotions just as much as someone's intelligence.

Please permit me to cast blame upon the medium we use. I intended no sarcasm.

It's all good. Indeed, the medium we use sometimes comes across poorly.
