The Kinect (the camera) can be turned off. The game 'sharing' and purchase and sale of used games is kind of a bummer, but I rarely buy or sell used games.
Every time I play XBox, I connect to my XBox Live account, so 'calling home' is not a big deal for me either. Pre-ordered XBox One yesterday. Would be nice if MS loosened some of the restrictions based on what Sony released about PS4, but none of the issues you outlined is a deal breaker for me.
