Because they /can't/ do it. Anyone who claims that legislative or legal peril will accomplish the goal to "safeguard your private info" must be almost impossibly naive. It requires a foundation of /perfect/ cryptographic and operational security, which is ... somewhat unlikely.
The only viable solution is to make it so expensive for them to hold /any/ of your data that they will look for a decentralized solution where you hold your data, and grant authorization for the corporation to use some of it (eg. your name and postal address).
Then, they might be able to fumble that, but the damage is limited to just publicly available data.
Agent-based system that are designed for building large-scale distributed and decentralized systems are the future.
Holochain is one such system. There may be others, but it seems to be the most advanced.
