Simply put, many of us don't care. Let them track.
Yes, I've used DuckDuckGo occasionally. But it's not as good as Google Search. It consistently gives me fewer results. So I've returned to Google every time.
I don't use social media. At all. Not because of privacy, but I just hate it. It's noisy, and I don't mean audibly. It's like being in a room with lots of people, which I also hate. No can do. But I'm certainly not giving up Gmail, Google Search and other things which make my life convenient and comfortable.
Some people value digital privacy more than others. Some value speed and convenience more than others.
