It is so ridiculously easy to travel legally on London's Transport

I concur with your thoughts. My reading of the various TfL statements
or responses that relate to privacy, access and security of the Oyster
database suggest that they are very well aware of their crucial role
as a custodian of this data too.-

No matter how little confidence people had in the system, raising the
cash fares sufficiently would have the desired effect.

I disagree - people (a) would be willing to pay the extra as a point
of principle to avoid it, (b) would likely use the system less or
otherwise boycott it, and (c) would kick up an almighty fuss about it.-

The authorities like everyone to kick up a fuss (eg posting on
newsgroups) to get it out of their system before they buckle down. I
wish you were right.

I'm already not prepared to pay the cash fares, and my data won't only
start being stored on the day when TfL decides to hand its data over.
