Clearly, government ordained rights is the only way to stop data from being sold to evil marketing companies! To believe other viable options exist is crazy, you must be a troll! /s
That's how partisan worldviews work, my ideology is good, to believe otherwise is unfathomable / malicious / the agenda of a conspiratorial paid shill. There's some great literature on this subject, the left is particularly susceptible as their worldview tends to start from a smug all-knowing-esque position. But the right is hardly immune to this either.
45% of the top websites online have TLS by default and growing. Most home internet is shared among various people and most valuable data (ie, identifying data) is almost always encrypted these days. I can't imagine it's very valuable as it is and clearly the value is diminishing as privacy activists like myself push for TLS adoption and better OS defaults.
Yet despite previous ISP privacy laws, there's still a massive billion dollar marketing data industry collected from ads, rewards cards, credit card usage, etc, etc. This is like creating a huge fuss about a fly while a jumbo jet gets let through.

You're from Canada, so your government has implemented strong privacy laws. What you may miss out on is that the usual response to this involves either individual responsibility or a free market solution.
The problem with both of these is that ISPs in the United States are powerful, and in many cases, hold either monopolies or non-competing duopolies is a region. There is no "free market" solution. Claims there are ignore the reality that ISPs will use any means necessary to slow of halt competition. Google Fiber is an example of that. Individual responsibility would require everyone to set up VPNS. For some people, that is beyond their means or their capability. It also is, as I said, an arms race. An organization can detect if you're using a VPN and either throttle or ban you from their service. If you live in one of those areas with a monopoly, you're of luck.
I have yet to see either logic or reason in your posts. However, using a fresh account with a username clearly meant to incite is not exactly a subtle tactic.
