Then again, with how much can be done casually by literally anyone who is on the ship, not just starfleet personnel, what even is privacy anymore in 2380?
Serious answer (and retroactive justification). Privacy is a sort of personal property. In a post scarcity society, where personal property is less important, privacy also becomes less important.
If you talk to anyone who grew up in the Soviet Union, you’ll get the impression that the concept of privacy was anathema to their civilization. That didn’t mean that they didn’t do things in secret, like black market dealings and such, but all of this felt surreptitious. Privacy was a vice, not a virtue. In our property oriented civilization, the opposite is the case.

Gotta watch Avenue 5 for another season of Neelix
Considering the body count that Avenue 5 has, I watch in constant fear that they’ll kill off Ethan Philips’ character.
I think the writers are aware of this, and may be using it to manipulate my emotions.
Well, it is a good way to discover new fetishes
I’m glad SNW made a point not to do this last season
