These policies stem from elected officials, as far as I can tell. How else would you propose they make policy decisions?

My impression is these decisions are related to genuine concern about how tech companies collect and use personal data.

While I agree with the decisions, I must point that elected officials are far from being representatives for the people for a long time; in many countries they are just puppets for their political parties and elections are a choice between all bad options.
