I think everybody should be paying for online services and companies should not be allowed to provide services that are free of charge. The simple truth is that all companies are for profit or at the very least have running costs that need to be covered. As long as people expect services to be free of charge there isn't much that can be done. Companies will work hard to monetize you as a product because there isn't much else that can be done. We can always try to create more law or precedents, but companies will put their billions to exploit every single bit of information about you that can be exploited in any possible way. I believe the explicit price is needed to have healthy competition and for the companies to focus on services they render to their customers and not on the customers as a product packaged for other companies to use for some shady business.
