The problem is that this is not a clear and present trade off that people can consent to. When choosing an object on collecting data, lets go with a fairly noxious and bad example BMW, you can't have a clear understanding about how you accelerate, your speed, pictures from your car, etc are valuable. At the time of purchase you are coerced into a market where things are unequally priced out, and even if it's told to you that you must accept that you give out your data. It doesn't make it clear about how far that goes, how it's stored, who it's sold to and correlated with etc. "The user has to accept this" is a very authoritarian thing for you to say and to blame everyone here for.
