It doesn't have to mean that. Think of war. Defense is often developed in response to offense. Medicine is developed in response to injury. Sometimes in history, defense & medicine lag far behind weapons. Sometimes the gap is much smaller.
Privacy is impacted because we are rushing ahead, advancing our sharing & social & etc technologies. We aren't developing privacy & security fast enough to keep pace. So while it is that way right now, must it be?
The problem is that sharing and social technologies attract more resources than privacy technologies because it's easier to make money when you know as much as possible about your users.
