>Am I missing something? Does the app really have enough redeeming features to warrant the risk of using it?
In my experience (sometimes depending on how it's stated but not always) people see these kinds of comments as a commentary on _them_ specifically. It often doesn't matter what your intention is, they just feel somewhat defensive/challenged, like you're accusing them of poor judgement. So they blow the comment off or even push back to make themselves feel better about their decision.
I understand this comment could be seen as pretentious but I sincerely understand why someone would feel defensive. It's very easy to see it as commentary on their judgment and values, especially in a country like the US that is so focused on being individualistic/protecting individual rights. Most people don't want to be accused of not caring about their privacy. It makes them feel shallow and talked down to, once again, regardless of intent.
