… isn’t using Tor on the traditional internet a very bad idea, since it exposes all users to the tracking ecosystem?
Tor’s primary purpose is to access clearnet sites, hidden services are secondary.
It’s not a very bad idea. Tor browser provides good tracking resistance in clearnet, but there are more chances that uneducated person leaks personal information there and at the same time will have a false feeling of safety because they are using Tor, not Google Chrome.
Thanks for clarifying. It’s been a long time since I used Tor

Bad compared to what alternative?
Tor specific websites. Those not found on Google or other common search engines.
