I've heard many people say that privacy is too hard for them, so I believe

Gave up? No. I do conceal my ID when possible and/or necessary. And I
noticed that you conveniently avoided commenting on your un-private
online profile (CC, doctor, bank, phone, etc etc.). Understood.

 
Your argument is absurd for two reasons that should have been obvious.
1. You're comparing the utility of a doctor bank and CC to a Samsung app?
   (that's preposterous)
2. You're assuming I have a CC on my phone, a banking app on my phone,
   a credit card on my phone, etc.). I do not. Nor on the Internet.
 
If someone wants to hack into that information, they'll have to get it
directly from my doctor, my bank and my credit card company.

  Well, some of your fellow paranoids claim that - in the US - such
organizations are also selling your 'personal'/'private' [1] data.

  Face it, as AJL hints at, that information is just on a *different*
server - than Samsung's, Google's, etc. ad infinitum - over which you
*also* have *absolutely no* control.

  Sweet dreams!

[1] Scare quotes, because - contrary to popular FUD, urban legend,
hearsay, etc. - the big tech companies have very little *actual*
personal/private data.
