That is a good point - it is quite difficult to read and interpret all these sets of T&Cs these days. Something should be done to make these more accessible / standardised.
However, that is a problem that is equivalent across all facets of all services people use, and I think is independent from this problem.
The likelihood is that most people don't read the T&Cs and most people don't care about their data being used like this. But if someone is concerned about a particular facet of a service (privacy/data usage) then there is a place they can look and relatively easily find out what they need before signing up.
What can be done about the wider problem of T&Cs and how they are unwieldily is a tough one.
