It's more like complaining about license plate readers, cabin voice/video recorders, hackable cars, GPS tracking, and being increasingly dependent on a centralized service for repairs and maintenance. The "good old days" were actually different.
Yes, there are some benefits to all of those "features", but it seems prudent to consider and expose their risks as fervently as we're promoting the rewards. Perhaps the current balance isn't ideal over the long term, and we'll only see improvement by actively exploring the whole picture (whatever it is).
