>but to talk about them in the context of the recent Supreme Court decision is dishonest

I disagree, this is an example of why data collection can be scary.

Data that was perfectly inane yesterday can be used against people tomorrow. How much data do the powers-that-be have access to that can be used similarly in the future? The dystopian view is that they'll be able to paint any narrative if you fall in their crosshairs. Of course who "they" are is subject to change.
