I agree with your points and think "convenience" is an oft misused term in this context. It is "inconvenient" for me to go downstairs to pick up my Uber Eats delivery. It is nothing short of toil to do the multitude of things required to guard privacy/kidneys.

I'll add, with regard to T1D, that I am fortunate enough to have an endocrinologist who is effectively an expert tasked with staying up to date with the science and facilitating the best outcomes for me, the patient. I am not sure if there is a parallel when it comes to privacy. Sure, there are orgs out there that will take your money and provide you with solutions that claim to guard privacy but it's difficult to confirm their intent and capability. My endo works in a regulated environment with statutes to guard against kickbacks and other bad behavior and has little incentive for malevolence.

Also, with T1D we have ways to actually knowing your 'score'. A1C and time in range are good? Urine tests are good? Nice.

With privacy, how do I know my 'privacy score'? It's way more difficulty to do any 'health checkup', compare to how you were 6 months before and plan around known risks for the future

Excellent point!
