>or they don't trust the government/people/everyone. Which is fine and understandable, it just isn't related to privacy.
You can't possibly believe that. What am I missing here? Can you explain why this doesn't have everything to do with privacy? In order for it to not be relevant to my privacy, I have to trust the software spying on me and that Microsoft and the government won't use it against you if it benefits them in some way. I do not trust that, even though I also live a charmed life relative to most people in the world, I think. That doesn't mean I haven't read how, historically, government and other people of power are not to be trusted any more than absolutely necessary.
