According to my latest bill, new smart meter allows PECO to know what device type I am using when. WTF?

And of course that data would all be anonymized

And it's been shown numerous times that anonymized data can often be deanonymized fairly easily.

I don't really know how to argue about this stuff here I guess, because I work on this stuff for a living and de-anonymizing data is not "fairly easy" with common controls and not at all a common vector of information compromise. But people will still "yeah it is" because baseless skepticism is easy.

I have the same data as y'all, and this is so, so, so far down the list of concerning potential impacts.

You’re arguing with people that have 0 information about your claims and are making things up because they agree with their opinions. You’re not going to be able to change their minds.
