It's not just that. But, the fact that they are bluetooh or wifi enabled allows people you don't know to track you as well.

I can easily determine what bluetooth devices are near me. If a number of sensors were setup around an area, it would be easy to track people as they move around using just that.

Definitely.

100%. And most not aware wifi devices share their saved network history with anyone listening (helping map out patterns of life / home / work / wifi use locations).

Yep, this is a major design flaw. Then again, even from the start, the internet never had privacy in mind.

At first it was a bad design choice. Now it's seems intentional. Though, I know it's likely just lazy programming.
