I think you are being incredibly generous. I'd put that figure at well over 90%.

I'd rather still have a little hope that it's not that bad yet. Grin

Most people do not care about their privacy, like, at all.

Well, they have nothing to hide, do they? Cheesy

I have to agree with @o_e_l_e_o here.
I have been discussing privacy issues with a lot of people, both online and in real life. The absolute lack of consciousness on why privacy is important has always stroked me.
The obnoxious “ I have nothing to hide” Is of course a non-sense. It is like saying: “I don’t care about free speech as I haven’t anything to tell”.
Well, I bet that those rights are understood only when those are gone.

I suggest a nice read about privacy:

A Treatise On Bitcoin And Privacy Part 1: A Match Made In The Whitepaper

Quote

How one’s focus can shift in just two weeks! While today everybody in the Bitcoin space seems more concerned with price fluctuations in response to the global financial panic (understandably so), it’s important to remember perennial issues that never go away, like the importance of maintaining your privacy when you transact in bitcoin. Throughout this month especially, we’ve been hearing reports of KYC/AML-compliant exchanges freezing user accounts due to suspected use of CoinJoin software (more on that later), followed by yet another case of a famous and respected early Bitcoin proponent promoting his new illiquid altcoin as something that “will replace Bitcoin, which isn’t private enough!”

If you want to take a short break from global pandemics, financial meltdowns and price volatility, here’s an attempt at analyzing claims, facts and context of this latest “Bitcoin drama.” To begin with, in Part 1 of this two-part series, we’ll start by looking at the fundamental relationship between Bitcoin and privacy by going back to the beginning with the whitepaper. Then, in Part 2, we’ll focus on some the ways that Bitcoin privacy is being maintained and improved upon — and strike down a few “red herrings.”

A Treatise On Bitcoin And Privacy Part 2: Don’t Be Misled By Red Herrings

Quote

In Part One of this treatise, we examined the fundamental relationship between Bitcoin and privacy by going back to the beginning with the whitepaper. In spite of some excellent privacy preserving options that have been available to users since those early days, we seem to have taken a few wrong turns. But to fix it, in order to make Bitcoin’s privacy “great again,” we must be able to distinguish between real privacy and red herrings that can only lead us further off the path.
