Can't see what you're replying to but how we treat dead people is important because it influences our behavior knowing how we will be treated once we die. What if all our online history known to Google/Facebook/ad networks/etc. is suddenly dumped on our Facebook page and turned public so the day we die, everyone who knew us can see what naughty things we searched for in our entire life? People will alter their behavior if such non-privacy was expected because people do care about how they will be perceived after they die.
Once you're so far back in history that nobody knew you except from your post-death public record, then maybe it's not the same?
