I'm on board with governments stepping in over externalities, but if A and B make a deal that includes "B will, in addition to observing A's behavior to implement functionality, use these observations to target ads" I don't see how externalities enter into it.

I think the normal reasoning is that services that don’t use data in this fashion can’t compete with those that do. Hence users who don’t want to be tracked have no other options. Whether that bothers you is a personal question.
