That's an interesting one - I'm not sure I follow TeeMassive, do you mean to say that privacy is unimportant culturally?
If that's the case, we probably differ on POV a little so I'd love to know more about why you think this?
In my experience average people who don't work in tech (non devs) do not understand privacy or data use in a system - so it's hard for them to comprehend the potential impact. They're trusting people that work in tech (devs and others) to do the right thing and this is where the problem might be; we're being trusted to ensure we don't abuse or accidentally misuse a position of tremendous knowledge and power.
My parents certainly understand where/how their data is stored or used when they use their phone - aren't we then responsible for keeping those people who don't know safe?
