It isn't, but that's the best solution that is currently available to people.

A better solution would be to stop putting people's addresses in public records, and eliminating data brokers that expose name/address correlations.

You're advocating taking away, a method people have to protect themselves, with a simple "oh, I'm not so sure".

How about you make an iron clad promise people will be safe? How about if someone dies because of your minor concerns, you go to jail for life?

Would you be so "oh well" then?

If not, you're probably not taking people's very lives seriously.
