Or perhaps it's because people don't trust that the government is interested in protecting them. If a private company uses the information it has on you maliciously at least you have some recourse - a competitor, or the justice system. When the powers in charge decide to use your data against you because they don't like your political stances, who is going to protect you?

But at the moment, it is just some laws that are protecting you from this malicious behavior by a non-benevolent government. If such a government comes to power, why would they follow this law. The real solution should be to use encryption so that only you as a consumer holds the keys to your data. The reason the tech industry will never implement something like this is because it will kill their profit machines - not because it is not possible to implement this.
