I think that's the point. There are data brokers selling information right now on everyone's whereabouts, travel patterns, shopping behavior, and many other data points. This happens essentially any time you interact with electronics that can send and receive data.

Going about data privacy legislation in this way is ridiculous. It's like if you had a clogged toilet in your house, you just continued to let it flood because you can build a ramp over the water to get to your private jet and take a dump in that toilet instead.
