People don't suddenly become aware of the importance of privacy.
They're simply greedy.

True humanity thrives in the wild chaos of freedom, not the gilded cages of exploitation!
WTF. Only a fraction of all Monero transactions use shielded addresses and a built-in 20 % founders’ reward skews incentives forever. Monero?! Ah nope, that’s Zcash.
