Tough question haha. I think it also matters what people end up using the extra free time on. For example, a salaried person may end up working longer hours inadvertently just because they can, which may be suboptimal in a way (how we allocate time might not be a fully conscious decision). It might be tough to tell yourself to use the time for something else.

Indeed a tough question. You have a point there. How we allocate time may not always be rational as well. We may want to optimize the limited time we have, to get the best return. But life does not always happen this way.

I bet they will say “we collect information to make your experience better”, they won’t say “we collect information to figure out how to maximize our profits”. Just a thought. Thanks for sharing this.
