Probably in part because it's exactly those developers that see how easy it is to leak data to third parties that won't respect it at all and will track the everliving shit out of it.

I'm fully behind the GDPR. It might not be perfect, but I've read the law and it's surprisingly straightforward and sane.

Why is it sane to assume data I've sent to a service is my data to control?

With respect but it's you who says it isn't. You need to explain why it isn't.

I started writing a lengthy reply, but instead let me ask you this: why would a service be privileged to do anything with your data that they did not ask you for permission to do?
