I think the industry is in general in a race to the bottom for privacy. Sure, if a competitor gets information that you don't collect, he has an advantage. Others are forced to collect data as well.
The only safeguard would be sensible policy.
Problem is that politicians ask "big tech". Few of these companies have an interest of collecting less information. On the contrary, they would probably try to sell access to their data in the process.
I don't think advertisers would care too much about not being allowed to collect certain info as long as they can be sure their competitors are subjected to the same rules.
