I always hate the framing of something being "capitalistic greed". The market has decided that they don't care about their privacy. You are complaining about the wrong people, you should be complaining to your fellow consumers/users. I've lost count of the number discussions I've had with people where they said they don't care about their privacy.

As for legalities. It is a global world. There is no way to enforce this effectively globally. This is a pipe dream.

Also data in some cases must be shared with partners, those might be payment processor, ID checks etc.
