Not photographing people in public is a bit like not looking at people in public. Completely silly and has always been a huge subject in photography. Not for me personally as I hate humans cluttering up the landscape or architecture - most are revolting anyway. Occasionally, like in Italy you see beautiful people everywhere and they enhance the views. But if they are in a public place, they are there to be seen and can be photographed. Probably shouldn’t follow people around to take photos - that would be a bit off.
Frankly these days, people are so addicted to selfies that they would probably follow you around instead.
