Literally explained in the second paragraph there.

You can't have private information which is meant to also be shared widely. It is the distinction between Access and Authorization.

But it's not meant to be shared widely, for most people it's meant to be shared with consideration and/or permission.

Also, it's not just about "a desire not be interrupted by people you didn't agree to be interrupted by", it's about not having the data in the first place, for any reason, including tracking of any sorts.
