...Do keep in mind that the progenitors of Equifax and the other Credit Bureaus were private investigators most frequently hired by the well heeled in order to "gauge trustworthyness", which takes many forms... Including Union busting, and building blacklists.

It's not really about financial risk. It's about trust. The FICO score is being used as a proxy for trust, which is problematic.
If you don't use credit or use it minimally your credit score will begin to fall.
That doesn't seem unreasonable to me that people who are entering some sort of financial contract with you have the ability to easy see your credit history.
But again, just don't use credit (or use it minimally) and you're good.
