You clearly don't understand the concept of threat model or privacy and security through isolation and compartmentalization.
Even Snowden said he's no longer as hardcore because he doesn't have to be. His threat model has changed since he was running from the government. His role is now more that of an educator. The problem with most privacy educators is that they think everyone has the same threat model—the MOST EXTREME.
Good OPSEC is principle-based. It's all about YOUR specific threat model. There are basic practices, yes, but most people are not running from the government (which is very hard to sustain for any extended period of time).
Most people don't need to go full-on ghost or have the most extreme threat model. If you sacrifice too much convenience when it's not necessary, you will burn out.
You have to take inventory and decide in what areas of your life it is more important for you to sacrifice convenience for extra privacy and security, and to what degree.
