You joke, but I guarantee there's a market. Consider health insurance companies that see an opportunity to charge everyone more unless they can prove their good brushing habits via app data.

A fatalist take like this doesn't help anyone. Do you lock your doors at night even though you're not be continuously robbed? It's always worth it to try and protect yourself.
What's yours then?! Sounds like something a fed would say...
Also your mother's maiden name and the name of your elementary school.

It's not about user-led synergy. The personal data market is slurped up by those that already have and are building correlations. Just because a user didn't report anything to their insurer doesn't mean an insurer sure as shit isn't going to want the data if they can link it to the user whatsoever, so long as it will make them more money.
This is hypothetical, of course, but it's the way the market of data brokers works.
