Even privacy concerns aside… this would be the world’s most catastrophic data leak.

If you're using them correctly there is no way to scrutinize your traffic more, these comments just spread FUD for no good reason. How are "they" unable to catch darkweb criminals for years and even decades, but somehow can tell if it's me browsing reddit over Tor?
One of them is personal privacy. For example, an activist being individually targeted.
The other is behavioral targeting, which has no business in catching criminals. It wants to know how large flocks of people behave online.

I have friends who are in tech and perfectly aware of the implications but prefer the low effort route. They feel that A. they are not important enough for someone else to care about and B. there is so much data that it is unlikely their data will be seen by anyone.

I use a pihole, ublock, a vpn for some devices, and I'm using my own OPNSense router w/ very strict settings. The amount of privacy I think I have from all that is next to nothing if someone were actually interested in what I was doing. I'd probably just get one of my boxes shelled and that's the end of that. Mostly what I'm trying to do is block 1) Some for the lulz Russian teenager 2) the shady ad networks hoovering up everything all the time and 3) my IoT devices like TVs and Hue light bulbs from ever accessing any part of the rest of my network.
You'll also notice that darkweb criminals are getting caught more and more frequently these days because governments have decided to no longer tolerate it. I feel bad for you if you're in a ransomware gang these days.
