I think it depends on headphone model/setup.

My Sennheiser Momentum 3 by default only look for devices that were paired up in the past.

It goes to (forced) discovery/pairing mode only when I press a specific button on headset manually.

Check manual of your headset for similar setup.

It’s a sell and not leak of data.
It’s actually called Server to Server (S2S) tracking.

This is how I explained it to one of my friends who is/was definitely a member of “I’ve got nothing to hide” club -

• Suppose you are in a pay-to-use toilet minding your own Business.
• That pay-to-use toilet is managed by a public/private entity called ToiletBook.
• Suddenly you notice a (hidden) camera in the room.
• When confronted, the owner confirms the only reason they took your picture to suggest you the perfect underwear based on your size. And, there is a legal guarantee that picture/data will never be used for any other purpose and only be processed by machine.
• Will you still go to such toilet?

BTW, that friend stopped talking to me afterward; not sure why 🤔
(Edit: I should stop giving shitty examples to anyone, as it seems ) 🤐

Back in '50s, the connection between Tobacco products and Cancer was evident.
Since '70s connection between Fossil fuel and Global warming was evident.

Yet, no one heeded those warnings at the time. With cancer rate going up, and climate becoming increasing unpredictable/extreme, people now started to take notice.

With so much information to process, Human brain ignores information that doesn't have a clear relation to a significant real world problem that immediately impacts their lives. This makes us intelligent (at short term) and dumb (at long term) at the same time.

Using a service at free of cost (at the expense of your privacy) is acceptable by majority of population as it has no significant real world impact on their lives.

If tomorrow, a huge data leak from these imbecile data hoarders leads to massive transaction fraud/identify theft that impacts a significant percentage of population and their daily lives, only then there will be massive outrage that you expect.

Till then, we are the only one who escaped the Matrix, while rest embraced it.

If your hardware supports, you may self-host your favourite privacy frontends (e.g. LibReddit) on docker on your system, and point that extension to your self-hosted privacy frontend servers.
