Why would you need a reason other than privacy? Or for that matter any reason you want or nobe at all.
To be fair, he is just asking for more reasons than privacy. No reason not to give him them, and also okay to say we don't think there is any.

Obviously mockable statement.
His assumption seems to be that there must be other reasons or that that reason is somehow not valid enough though.
