We don't know that.  What we do know is that the world's most-used browser is 
requiring it for some, soon all, certificates.  I could claim that Chrome is 
the only reason why 6962 is deployed.  And 12 logs is still one less than the 
number of root zone DNS servers :)

And how much does it cost, on average, to get a name-constrained subCA from one 
of the trusted roots?  (I have no idea; that's an honest question.)  But should 
privacy only be limited to those who can afford to get one, or forced to buy a 
wildcard, or similar?

The IETF considers privacy to be very important.  Certificates should not be 
exempt from that.
