"The vast majority of the population Do Not Care about their personal data"

They do care, they just don't understand! Don't care and being technically illiterate are not the same thing! So many people don't work in IT like we do and they're too time starved to study the nuances of all this stuff.

Furthermore they're lied to on a daily basis by sales staff online and in-store, who themselves know nothing. Most people have no idea about Smartphones and Location Services or Smart TV's and the accompanying 50 page privacy disclosure document. And IoT, that's completely alien!

The big tech shittycorps are taking full advantage of people's tech illiteracy. But that's not the same thing as saying they don't care.... They do care, they just don't understand!
