What are the main excuses from people who don't care about digital privacy?
For example, when I advocate about privacy and data gathering from big tech companies, one of the most common I heard is "I don' care, I have nothing to hide". What else have you heard?

Not an excuse, but an explanation: ignorance.
Most people don't know how ads or data collection works beyond the obvious uptick in a product after you search for it. They don't know what impact it might have.
Full disclosure: I'm mostly in this camp. I only recently started using firefox over chrome, for example. I know that big tech collects obscene amounts of data, and monetizes it by targeted advertisements, but...beyond that, I don't know what FAANG can do with the data collected on me. I only have a vague idea of what's being collected.
