Interesting theory. My own theory is that the big corporations want to siphon off more data from people. That is, I think, the main agenda. See android recently stating that everyone has to give up their age. Next step will be ID (though probably, in order to verify the age, one has to give up the ID anyway, so age sniffing could be called ID sniffing).

For what it's worth, two or more things can be true or even partially true. I think all options should be on the table to discuss potential mitigations. Incentives and incentive driven laws can be difficult to prove out. Probably best to just find mitigating options and controls.
The age thing is because of laws mandating it
