I think the problem more relates to how the risk associated for privacy violations is communicated to people. "People don't care about privacy" is a reasonable conclusion to reach if you don't factor in the perception of the risk in and of itself.

That being said, I have heard that idea a lot --and again, I see how it could be a logical conclusion in certain (or even numerous) scenarios-- and I think that it might be fundamentally flawed.

Sometimes "but they don't care" sounds more like a line people use to avoid actually addressing people in a meaningful way than an actual summation of the situation.
