I don't think this is true anymore. The average user may not know what end-to-end encryption is, but they know they don't trust Facebook. And Apple built a whole marketing campaign around user privacy.

I think most people do care about privacy, but they're usually powerless to defend it.

The average Facebook user.. does... trust Facebook, enough to use it. That's why Facebook is a multi-billion-dollar company.

Seriously, sometimes I wonder if people on this site have ever interacted with people outside of tech.

Yeah I think you are right, more and more people are becoming very sensitive to this, and I am, too, personally. But as I wrote in a parent comment, I'd rather get it right later than wrong now. It's a big thing to misrepresent.
