You have a point, but 99.9% of consumers cannot follow your reasoning. What they will see is this:

"Apple and Google selflessly implement a new magic technology to save our lives. This involves a tiny little bit of contact analysis. Who would possibly resist!"

For these 99.9% the association "contact tracing good" has now been established. Companies will slowly go further and further in the future, because this event has established a precedence case.

Anchoring bad things to positive events and outcomes works. Advertising works, not for HN readers but for the general population.
