People would care about data if it actually impacted anyone in a tangible negative way. IRL getting served relevant ads and simply having 'more data out there' isn't terrible enough to make most people give up using the Internet.

Like slow cooking a frog, if the rate of change (e.g., decline) is slow or even delayed enough, most people won't connect the two events of cause and negative consequences. If something effects people in a negative way and they see or are effected by the consequences immediately, they often react quite rationally from my experience. If there's any time casual separation, ambiguity, or a time delay resulting in such ambiguity, most simply shrug and accept consequences as "the way things are."
