I've played on games with public +watch code on "hang-out" type locations and nobody cared.

Because watch code is done transparently. I've seen more people get upset about the friendlist/watch-for-login (aka The Other +Watch) than remote-room viewing, because you don't know who's stalking your logins.

The old +watch code on Reno -- +friends, I think -- would give you a list of who was watching for you. I don't think the current version does, but at least that was a thing.

That version went the way of the dodo when the +watch/all rubbed someone wrong. (Which essentially does what it says on the tin, it monitors every non-dark login/logout on the game.) Personally, I don't see what the big deal is about that specifically, as it strikes me as being more annoying than useful and nothing prevents someone from just adding everyone to their list anyway.
