No, it's nothing like that at all. You can't reasonably equate someone using an in-game ability without your permission to someone violating your personal space and touching you IRL.
If we were not meant to be able to inspect people without their permission, it wouldn't have been implemented into the game without a way for players who didn't want to be inspected to elect out in some form.
What it evolved into after this is both player-made and completely stupid.

You're violating my personal space in game, and the game lets me know by giving me a message that you're doing it. I think the fact that there were a lot of players that decided it was an invasion of personal space is just another part of the community that made old MMOs what they were. It created a grey area which sparked debate that brought the entire population closer by giving them the ability to decide right and wrong use of a feature. The very fact that there is something for us to argue about is what makes it so awesome.
