Oh, so they just sell ACCESS to data. Got it.

I never understood this "they sell our data" argument against Google. They track us all, they profile us in all imaginable ways, but they are guarding these data jealously as it's their most important asset. Selling access to our data is an inaccurate description, they sell profiled ads in a way that you as the buyer never contact the end user directly, Google is always the middleperson.
