What privacy issues? What's wrong if an advertising company tracks what sites you visit? Tracking what sites people visit would result in more targeted advertising and would increase the ad revenue to publishers (which is something that would really help a lot of sites in this day and age).
Open-source usually doesn't work. Look at what happened to Netscape.
Uhm, if investors invested in BearShare, it would be commercialized.
