Privacy is a concern for a business, a corporate, financial institution, funds, all that stuff.

yeah my view is that i'm all for privacy or i'm all for those sort of things as long as they don't reduce convenience because when a consumer is given a choice between a convenience and privacy they will always choose the route of convenience over privacy if you can reduce one click for someone

and reduce one pop-up for someone, do it.
Web3 with Sam Kamani
349: Inside Openfort: Fixing Wallets, Crypto UX and Privacy, and the Road to 2026 with Guest Speaker Joan Alavedra
You know, make that choice default.

So the more convenient you make, the less clicks, one-click checkout by Amazon or every single thing that they did was to increase convenience because we want to save mental energy.
