Define "significant," and do you have a source?

I'd bet if you ask people "do you care about privacy?" Close to 100% would say yes.

If you ask "you have to give up privacy to be able to log in to your email automatically. Are you ok with that?" Close to 100% would say yes.

If you ask "we will give you this email service for free but in exchange we get to squeeze every ounce of juice that we can out of it to persuade you to buy things you don't need. Are you ok with that?" Close to 100% would say yes.

It doesn't matter what people say they care about. Their actions say otherwise, if the privacy-friendly option is in any way less convenient.
