I find it hard to believe those are the only two options: buy and sell user data, or fail.

Well... if the company's main activity is refining oil, cultivating corn, or trawler fishing, then maybe it doesn't need to buy and sell user's data, because, you know, there aren't any...

Also, there are companies like FairPhone and System76 that (probably) don't buy and sell user's data. But they aren't exactly thriving.
