I agree with your point - they’ll hold on to all data bc it’ll be useful in some context some day.
But as a ~40 y.o. U.S. citizen, I also share the previous viewpoint. My economic outlook has been downgraded several times due to external political factors and I’m (internally, at least) jaded and cynical as all hell. The best uses of my personal data would be to steal my loose ~$200 or to jail me and profit off my slave labor.
I still use privacy apps to mitigate unpleasant surprises and am against mass surveillance in all forms, but fuck the bottom feeders at the top of the economic food chain. I hope they are supremely bored when sifting through my bland porn tastes, i.e. - “boobies”.
