Well no, tracking for targeted sales is a big use case I guess.

  It would make more sense to ban tracking for targeted sales no? As this won't stop people using other methods like Bluetooth and wifi fingerprinting.

    That's where EU GDPR comes into the frame with informed consent for tracking.

  Yeah but the consequences for targetted sales with a as product is poorly aimed marketing. The potential consequences for security are far more severe.

    The consequences for targetted sales is that the data is in the hands of companies which make it available for sale by anybody who is interested. Including scammers, stalkers, jealous ex partners, enemies in general who want to find the weakness in someone's life to discredit them, spies, etc. That's pretty bad IMO, regardless of what you think about the use case for law enforcement.
