That's called capitalism. Until the added friction of respecting a person's privacy is profitable it'll always be the lesser of the options available should you want to grow a company or product.
Morally it's questionable but trying to create a grow a product it certainly shouldn't be surprising. Gitter does this and the HN crowed seemed to really like it last I saw it posted.

- klaustopher 10y agoAgain, you perfectly pinpoint the problem. I don't want a profile on this page. I am perfectly capable of setting up accounts on the platforms I want to monitor and I want to allow people to give me feedback on. I don't want anybody to make those decisions for me. Just because I set up a public profile on one page, does not mean, that I want others to scrape data from it and use this for their purpose. Of course, stuff like this happens all the time, but it doesn't make it right.
