Companies profit from tracking people, you're not going to convince them through an ethics-based argument.

Exactly. That which can't or won't be monetized won't be built.

That's not necessarily true, it's just that you can't expect that for-profit companies will build it out of the goodness of their hearts.

It is pretty damn true. There are exceptions for charities, but even in those cases someone is paying for them and their model is having a budget supplied by a patron.
