Never underestimate the greed of these people. They'd literally put ads under our eyelids if they could. They'd put ads in our dreams. They see our moments of peace as an opportunity to get richer.
They think the data belongs to them. They think they own the consumers and all the data they generate. To them, it's their consumer data, something they abuse to get consumers to log in and look at ads, and they'll be damned if they let some random software have access to it no matter what the user wants.
GDPR makes it clear that personal data belongs to the person, these companies are just middle men who are temporarily processing it. Cases like this perfectly illustrate why such a change in perspective is necessary. Access to this data is a privilege and it can be revoked.
