I wouldn't object to the former, but I would find the activities of the latter an invasion of my privacy. But your logic sees no distinction.
To me, the intentions of the photographer and the casual passer-by are clearly different. One is making a permanent record for uncontrolled distribution, and the other isn't - a significant difference in my opinion; ymmv.

Nope. If you don't want to be photographed whilst sunbathing at the beach - don't go to the beach. IOW, if you're in a public place, do NOT expect to have the right to privacy of your image.
Now this doesn't mean the person taking the photograph can use your image to *sell* something, but they sure the heck can use it to illustrate an article.
If you can't handle that, don't step outside your home.
