Sure, I agree with this. In theory absolute privacy would be nice. But then there's reality and the exceptions are there for a reason. But they're also the cause for the issue here. No one could call for surveillance if it was absolute. The exceptions are the gateway. Politicians say we need to tackle crime and balance that, so we need mass surveillance to keep people under control. And that's the point where things get complicated... Of course granting unlimited rights to commit crimes isn't an option either, that impedes with my rights.
