In the real world I can reject having my picture taken and I can demand it to be deleted (under circumstances) and when I am accidentally on somebody's holiday pictures they have no idea who I am anyway.

In the real world, there is no publicly searchable meta-information of my name applied to the pictures you are talking about. Some relatives asking "oh who is that?" is very different than some Nigeria scam "African Prince" looking you up on google+ or suddenly finding a less-than-charming picture of you having become the latest "meme" but no your name is connected to it.
