I really don't understand what the op is suggesting, asking for or complaining about. He's happy trading his privacy for services, but mad(?) that they don't give him arbitrary access in the form he wants, but understands that its their product, but wishes they would anyway, but knows that a business never would, but wouldn't it be cool?

Plus the awesomeness of these ideas is debatable (trade even more data, tracking and privacy for neat feature) and by his own admission the product idea is the easy part of building a business, thus not really startups.
