I'm guessing you were born after the Berlin Wall came down, and missed all of the palpable Western demonstrations of just how fragile freedom is, and just how dangerous it would be to build a turn-key surveillance state.
In my experience, the people who "don't care" (as opposed to simply not understanding the insanely complex topic) are the people who:
1) benefit from it, e.g., SaaS/startups heavy on analytics, and
2) lack the context to understand that the current state of Western civilization is not in any way immune to regression, and
3) don't understand how their own actions can in fact induce that regression by creating a high-value turn-key totalitarian system ready for the taking, and
4) don't understand that their actions are already serving this purpose in more totalitarian states outside of the USA.
That's even ignoring the implications of __massive__ information asymmetry when it comes to negotiation between corporations and individuals.
