The argument "why do you care about your privacy if you have nothing to hide" needs to be addressed. The problem with this argument is you don't decide what you need to hide or not, the authorities do, and we all know authorities can be corrupted. Just look at the US government right now for example A.

Just as an example. You are gay. You live in a gay friendly place. Until one day, a new government takes office that will incarcerate gay people. They now have access to every one's phones who previously had nothing to hide.

You don't even have to go that far. Just ask them for their banking information, passwords, and maybe some naked photos of them to top it off.

Everyone has something to hide... unless there's something utterly wrong with them.

That argument is easily refuted by "sure, I don't mind the government/Google/etc. having access to all that".

The GP argument is the correct one. You might not mind now, but that's not the problem.
