I feel like these kinds of solutions can necessarily only protect boring data - my phone number, date of birth, favorite color, and mother's maiden name.
I can't see how I could ever get the interesting/profitable/problematic data (my location history, my neighbor's doorbell videos of me, call records, purchase history at Target, and which ads I click on) into something like that.

Sure, ̶b̶a̶n̶k̶ ̶r̶o̶b̶b̶e̶r̶i̶e̶s̶ ̶a̶n̶d̶ ̶u̶n̶d̶e̶t̶e̶c̶t̶e̶d̶ ̶f̶r̶a̶u̶d̶ Identity Theft is a Bad Thing, and this would seemingly minimize the number of SQL dumps my birthday and SSN appears in, but that isn't exactly The Data that Big Tech feeds off of.
