Because most people don't like being spied.

Nothing against you, but I just find funny that people keep repeating this when I'm 100% sure they use a smartphone that "spies" just as much, if not more. Have you guys ever seen how many permissions most apps even require you to accept? I honestly see no difference =P

The two aren't always comparable. While many are woefully uninformed on how often they give away their mobile privacy (and would likley appreciate being informed on it), i expect most heavy PC users consider a desktop environment to be far more personal. Speaking anecdotally, if my PC is my digital home, then my mobile is my digital car. If i found out there were cameras in my car, i'd be angry. If i found out they had them in my house, i'd be outright horrified.
