Most end users (at least in the US) don't have a choice as many jurisdictions have sold a franchise (monopoly) to one provider. Either they sign or they don't get internet. 

Perhaps 5G will broaden the number of providers end users can choose from, and not be forced into this kind of contract. But why do you think any ISP would agree to not collect this information?
