The article didn't insinuate that data is being used to objectively harm users. It's being used to generate "trust scores" for anti-fraud systems. The specific example given in their piece is allowing a user to attach a certain number for SMS verification.
Rather, the point here is that such data could be used to objectively harm users, so those users should have to provide consent. Second to that is that BICS doesn't appear to inform users requesting GDPR data that their data was shared.
I'm not sure I'd label that failures in ego, it smells like failures in process and compliance, which also need to be dealt with in lawsuits.

I was forced to go to a bank branch likely because my provider doesn’t share the data. Better yet, when I realized my mistake of dealing with the said bank, going to the branch was the only way to stop the application.
