the technology itself and mistrust of government are, at least partly, different things

I don't personally think so when it comes to technologies like this that can be used to surveil and/or control a population (edit: and especially that are being heavily driven by governments)

It's pretty much a given that it will be used against us as history has shown us its always the case.

Trying to separate them out, gives them the extra support they need to pass it through and then abuse it.
