Except when it does matter, say for example you become a politican or work in a corporation that has valuable IP.

All of the sudden, private details about you can be weaponized and used as blackmail in order to carry out the will of a state actor.

It really doesn't take much creativity to think about how this information can be weaponized against you.

It's not great if a foreign intelligence has data on you, but depending on your threat scenario, it _might_ be better than your government having it.
