It's a matter of perspective. My particular data doesn't matter to a company in the grand scheme of things; they will be fine without it. But it matters to me. I have to deal with the spam. I have to answer the robocalls. I have to worry about my personal details being leaked. I have to deal with identity theft targeting me. There's only one person who's concerned about me - me.

I want to avoid the hassle because it affects me and my life. I might not be important to others, but I'm important to myself. Don't tell me to get over myself.
