One positive aspect of Inrupt could be it would make it easier to clamp down on nefarious data overcollection because you’d actually be able to see all the data Google et al were collecting on you in the first place.
Google Takeout exists, but Inrupt turns the tables and essentially makes Takeout the standardized real time default rather than an optional extra. It could be the foundation for new work to protect consumers, not the be all and end all.
