I think this is a bug part of it.

Average person doesn't care about the details if their convenience is satisfied. It's why so many continue to use Facebook even after the Cambridge Analytica scandal (which is still in the courts), and exposure of their tracking pixels.

Convenience. That's enough for most people. It's why we traded our personal data for free email accounts with Google, etc.
