You're talking as if most people care... They don't.

My father can't read any emails I send to him because his inbox is drowning in ads. A coworker ask me to fix her phone where apps crashed all the time. It was full with hundrds of apps I never saw before. The generation born 2010+ doesn't even know what privacy is. "Files" and local storage are alien concepts. This is the state of the world today.

So, communicate earlier to... ? people that already know and never connected their devices in the first place? Or maybe people that are "concerned" but unwilling to take the usability hit that true privacy implies? Like this guy that still has his Windows connected to the internet and then act shocked when he finds out just what exactly those 50+ background services do?

I think most people do care

  > My father can't read any emails I send to him because his inbox is drowning in ads
Seems like evidence your dad cares

  > A coworker ask me to fix her phone where apps crashed all the time
Seems like you're coworker cares

Don't confuse a lack of understanding with a lack of caring. We're on a site full of nerds, the metrics are different here
