As previously said, the financial incentive is simply not there. As much sense as it makes for you to have easy access to your information, there are too many businesses that rely on controlling that access. On the other hand, tools to do this with almost any site already exist. RSS is common enough, and where it doesn't exist, screen scraping isn't that hard (and getting easier all the time). If I'm not mistaken, this is the exact problem that Yahoo pipes are trying to address. Of course, sites that require a complicated login process (banking sites) are still out.
