Because a stalker might actually cause you physical harm, while Google/YouTube just wants money, and not necessarily your money. I have no love for the ad supported business model, I'm definitely not defending it, but you're not going to convince someone who doesn't value privacy to care about it.

People who don't value privacy, are always the ones that cry the loudest and say such iconic phrases like "WHO LET THIS HAPPEN" when their privacy inevitably gets violated.
