It's not a matter of them being free. I don't care if Facebook requires a paid subscription, what I care about is that my tech illiterate mother isn't being tracked because she uses a website the majority of the population uses. Cable TV has a free option and always has without the need for tracking. Billboards exist and I've never felt tracked. Posters at the mall don't track my shopping behavior and stores don't change prices because they know I went to a similar store and they think they can pull one over.
I don't understand why people think digital things need to know everything about me and share that info with anyone.
