I actually haven't spent much time thinking about the subject from those people's points of view, perhaps because my parents (who definitely aren't tech savvy) just say "I don't care if they track me, I'm using their stuff for free".
I'm also not sure about what could be done to avoid the confusion people have, I understand that they're making it as hard as possible to disable all the tracking because they want to make money, but it definitely causes some issues with users.
I think currently nobody knows what can be done to avoid the confusion, without dropping to much functionality or losing a lot of income. Although I expect there will be a shift in this area in the coming months / years. I expect companies to become more transparent about this and users given more choices as how to use the services. But only time will tell if I'm right on that one.
