This attitude is the reason “someone is going to get paid”.

If you see a unattended laptop in a coffeeshop, do you steal it because “someone will steal it, so it might as well be me”?

Why stop here? We can also blame the people, who implemented such features on the TVs, the people who worked at companies, who used data acquired by these devices for advertisement, the people who worked on the mentioned ads for such devices and the people who bought products from companies, that spend money on such marketing techniques.

At this point you might as well blame the average guy for global warming...

Where I'm from, it probably would not be stolen by anyone.
