Watch any home VHS video from the 80s. Half the people the person holding the camera points it at say "stop filming me"

There's just always been people uncomfortable with it.

I suspect a lot of that is more to do with them being worried about their how they look on the film than actually being on the film itself.

Of course there are going to be people uncomfortable with it. I am. The issue is that it isn't ever going to go backwards and being video recorded in public by amateurs has been around for almost 40 years. The ship has sailed a long time ago.
