I assume some corporations are lobbying for it. So they can harvest more data, and maybe sell the tech that will do this.
In the past some stuff like this has either gotten through of been attempted, and its usually in some trade deal with the US. So apparently the US really wants this all over the world.

Compliance would be crazy complex or expensive or both. Complex or difficult to comply with regulations are a regressive tax on businesses, impacting smaller or new businesses far more than large ones. The cost of compliance drops with scale.

The latter would be harder, in absolute terms, to justify. (And still PSD2 has given private entities accesses to dashboards of financial details of individuals - some of us have not yet understood in which terms.) Moreover, there is a matter of legal boundaries for each involved agent, and also a matter of a will for those legal boundaries to be actually enforced (as opposed to being expressed as an appeasing veneer).
