Oh, in day to day usage I agree with you: we're all one little uninteresting datapoint in a whole lot of datapoints and there are plenty of other ways in which we are tracked.

However if you're part of a Political Party or Movement and/or attend demonstrations, it's probably wiser to leave the phone at home, if only because that makes you stand out as a much more interesting datapoint than average.
