I don’t know. It’s a good signal to me, a user, that it’s an app I probably don’t want to be using anyway. Also, it’s the perfect solution to change the supply and demand structure. If people keep using the apps, they won’t know the difference.
Finally, it’s their app and this their price (personal data). You can chose to pay with it or not. Just like with any other currency, the choice is still yours as a consumer, but you are not entitled to the product by default.

There’s a reason selling organs is illegal in most countries, otherwise people end up cornered into a position where they have no other choice. Regulation doesn’t work (or doesn’t want to work, see the GDPR), the only thing left is guerilla tactics like poisoning the data so the ad-tech scum can’t tell whether they’re being lied to or are getting real data, putting in question the integrity of their entire database and them out of business.
