Even when trying to find killers, with known faces, we find out law enforcement facial recognition even in a city like NYC is actually not that effective as most cameras are not sharing data and wearing masks in public is socially acceptable now. Eyewitness reports are often the way arrests are made and that only works when a face is all over TV.
The government obviously knows when I am at airports, but that is significantly different than them knowing every detail of my day to day life.
But this is not just about me, it is about dogfooding tactics that make it much harder to usefully track everyone remotely at scale so the people that are being unfairly targeted have an easier time hiding.

Just dont step foot in a target or airport then.
You are concerned about nation state level threats from 3 letter agencies, if they cared enough to track you they would.
