Fuck these guys. Fuck their bullshit misdirection.
This is the equivalent of corporate doxxing. Until individual execs in these mega-corps that piss in the face of their users bear individual consequence for this type of thing it’ll keep happening.
Because until then there’s no requirement to actually really give a shit. We’re grist in the money mill.
The lack of consequence has me seething more than the breach.

I cast a spell to knock the wand out of the hand of my opponent. How does the spell know what to do? Can it break the opponent’s hand? Just the thumb? Can it blow up their hand? Turn them into a frog with no thumbs? Stop their heart? Even if you limited it to “knock out”, what if the wand is welded to their hand, what then? How far can the spell go? Can it rip off the hand? If it can’t see any other option to complete the spell can it just end the universe to achieve your probable goal (neutralise the other wizard)?
Of course the spell just “knows” what I “mean”. And voila, wand is removed from opponent. Magic. This is the alignment problem.
The studies you refer to regard subjective happiness at particularly difficult child rearing years.
Anecdata from older childless people, the emptiness of childless life once you’re beyond young adulthood is sobering and incredibly sad.
But yeah hold onto those studies that make you feel ok.
If they ever decide to enter your specific business they have an automatic kill switch on you.
