Most of the people who work in webdev are getting paid to figure out how to track users and provide targeted ads better than their competitors. Doesn't surprise me that they'd be hostile to the privacy concerns, because they'd be out of jobs otherwise.
Most programming communities on reddit are really pro-corporate and spying, /r/programming is obsessed with microsoft for example and will defend their OS-wired in keylogging / telemetry all day long.
