You apparently haven't heard of the invisible hand.[1]
The role of experts is to educate and influence, not to impose their own values. People should be allowed to chose what's best for them and put their trust where they want, not be forced into putting their trust on bureaucrats.
I think you're making my point for me. Right now, a lot of people simply don't know what is going on or the implications it has for their privacy, so they can't possibly make informed judgements about whether they are willing to accept that behaviour. Any argument that some sort of market forces would drive change is completely negated as long as you keep your market in the dark about what is really going on.
