There's also how much of a pain that would be for the end user. Would I have to create new accounts for all their services? That would be a mess.

I have a row of macro keys on my keyboard on the left side. I thought I'd be smart and add copy and paste macros (that were near mm's away from Ctrl) and I never used them.
Muscle memory would always take over and I'd Ctrl+C Ctrl+V. I realized it would take more work to train myself to use the macro keys (and God forbid I used a different keyboard) than I was saving not having to press a key combination
Same on windows. Works in most applications except some Microsoft Office apps (like Excel and Word) that have a separate "past as text" option.
If your wife is constantly having dreams about you cheating on her there's probably a deeper issue that needs to be explored.
Ground News's whole thing is they rate sources on a far right to far left scale and use that to compare stories. I tried it (the free version) and found it to be at best a news aggregator that gives you their opinion of media bias. In theory it sounded great, in practice I didn't find a whole lot of value in it.
That's what his supporters will say he means. It really doesn't matter what he says.
Your first link talks about Google consuming data for its AI
Your next two links (which are talking about the same thing) talks about how other companies are abusing Google's adbid system to try and collect correlated data against their own.
Love it or hate it, Google has been pretty transparent that they use your data for advertising, but nothing there talks about Google selling your data to third parties.
Probably, hopefully, who knows for sure. That's the problem with using an open source project run by a corporation.
Google doesn't sell user data, they sell user eyeballs. There's no incentive for Google to sell user data since they're an ad company and the only people who would buy the data are competitors.
Here's the concern with Brave since it's Chromium based:
For as long as we’re able (and assuming the cooperation of the extension authors), Brave will continue to support some privacy-relevant MV2 extensions—specifically AdGuard, NoScript, uBlock Origin, and uMatrix
My emphasis, not theirs
The problem is just going to court and saying "we have nothing to do with it" is both expensive and can end up with them going to trial. If they believe they have nothing to do with the incident, this is their easiest route.
Not trying to defend a big corp like Disney (they have plenty of money and can easily cover it), but I was just involved in a suite brought against me and in the end even though it would have been an "easy win" for us, it still would have cost us more money to fight it out in court than it was to just settle. And that's assuming the trial went our way which is never a guarantee.
