Privacy regulations can make it very difficult for competitors to gain traction for incumbents, so there is active lobbying to get regulatory barriers to competition in play. At the same time, far too much money is being made to allow laws and regulations to kill revenues... so it gets complicated. The easy way is to just say you are all for privacy, and then oppose it at every turn.
Another issue is this: breaking some of these privacy laws both in force and proposed, is really quite easy to do - as easy as a misconfigured logger or a developer including the wrong field in a query.
