Does it matter? Would anyone (but the most paranoid) care? My guess is that OCSP is supposed to be part of a defense in depth strategy, so it doesn't have to be 100% airtight to achieve its goals
I care that Apple or Microsoft don't get to know what executables I run. That is information highly relevant to security.
And what do mean with paranoid? I think computing is in danger of getting locked down and that would be such a large overall detriment for everybody. It is a matter of having a broad perspective.
It is also political because you create information asymmetry. To be honest, to dismiss it as paranoia might not be a really valuable assessment. Subjective, but I think it fairly lacking.

I think you missed the context of this comment thread. The "Does it matter" and "Would anyone care?" questions were directed at the question of what happens (presumably from a security point of view), if OSCP requests were being blocked. It's not related to the discussion about whether OSCP queries violate privacy or not.
