Companies collecting data on you directly or indirectly is a problem, even if they don't do anything malevolent with it (and some already do). The issue is that eventually they'll be breached, and then that data can end up in the hands of malicious actors that might use it in a way that could harm you (e.g. identity theft, compromising other accounts thanks to peronal info, etc.).
