it's not the same comparison; oppression is a 24/7 conditional facet of life, but only a slim percent of companies will have a data breach that results in a QoL decrease for the individual.
spotty/sporadic bad treatment is a tough condition under which to spark revolution -- if it works and keeps most people happy, it likely won't change.
look at ring cameras for example. it's a visual portal for law enforcement to enact all sorts of privacy-concerned mostly-unauthorized abusive actions, but their customers are thrilled due to the value sell of the thing itself.
this can be seen all over tech in nearly every sector, people trade their rights for a convenient/shiny/popular/trendy object willingly and brag about the transaction -- I haven't seen much evidence of the newer generations breaking this cycle, if anything they seem to be leaning-in.
