Yep... I think already companies have a profit incentive to not keep data they don't think will provide them value. They are keeping the data not because they are not thinking about security, but because the data is valuable to them, either to sell to a 3rd party or to better target/market to specific customers.

If the consequences don't go beyond slightly higher DB sizes nobody cares. The potential cost needs to be much higher than potential profits from selling the data.
