I think it's kind of sad that we need to ask the question of what got you into privacy, as opposed to what caused you to give up your privacy. I understand why we must the question, but it's still sad to me. This is my answer, by the way. Because we need to ask "why privacy", is the reason I want privacy.
I agree. I think for most the answer may be a mix of complacency, convenience, and conforming to the norm.
