Because UBI can be easily tied to a slavery/control type system, like social credit, removal of property rights, etc, where now you have no choices whatsoever, because income only gets distributed out by the ruling institutions, and getting cut off for 'bad behavior' is the new negative incentive. After all, UBI is just another expression of communism which hasn't gone very well to say the least.
So while it could be a positive tool, the context in which the UN/Davos/World Economic Forum is framing it, is an absolute totalitarian facist/communist s*** show where everything will be tracked and controlled, from people to food production and goods and services. This has already been literally written down in documents, it's what they are aiming for right now.
We need to get away from centralized control, at least in the interim, because the STO side is currently in no position to umbrella a world wide system that won't be turned into a nightmare. Humanity needs to experience/understand true independence and freedom before it can start building such large frameworks. In the meantime, it needs to focus on infrastructure and institutions that serve the individuals needs without rationalisation, and strip away the false scarcity and help with the foundation of living without strings attached. So yes UBI could potentially do that, but it requires alot of other paradigm shifts so to keep it from being another corrupted tool.
It comes down to what the transition to a moneyless system looks like. What does such a transition look like?
We can't be certain of what that looks like, but I think it's easier to see what it does not look like. So we can use this to help steer us away from going where STS would like us to go. We can try to imagine if a proposal is getting us closer or further away from ending up with a moneyless system.
But that also take a little bit of faith and for us to set our intent for a positive outcome.
Personally, I would not mind for privacy to go away, but of course it would have to go away for everyone at the same time. STS would not be able to function without privacy and let's not forget that the end result of reaching 4D is a state where privacy no longer exists to a point that harmony becomes automatic.
