Like you said though, I don't think people really do care. They may be forced to care one day,,, some day,,, whether that day comes soon it will be impossible to tell but for now, whizzy and shiny is what people care about and the markets also reward them for caring, so until privacy becomes something of a necessity (it is a necessity now but it is still only an alternative to most), we have to accept Monero is exactly where people care it is.
