Oh, yeah I can explain that, no problem! I'm one of those people myself. I've never heard of a single example of potential harm that could come as the result of tracking. So as you can imagine, to me these articles seem like a bunch of made-up hoopla over nothing.
To explain my mindset, basically it boils down to:
"Can something bad happen to me as a result of tracking?"
And nobody has ever said "Yes, here are examples."
