Depends on the context.

“I have nothing to hide” is unlikely to be an overall, generalized statement. It is contextualized - they think they have nothing to hide in a context you are talking about. (Is it their work PC, their mobile phone, their home PC, their TV, a service provider like their email provider, their shopping market?

The concerns and attack surfaces and impact are very different depending on what kind of data or activities you are talking about. There's concerns of inter-connected data correlation and linking of course, but that's too abstract to grasp to start out with.
