Sounds a bit pie-in-the-sky to me.
Blood ties aren’t becoming unimportant in the short or medium term future.
I presume that is some kind of hoover
The further into the future you try to predict, the less reliable the model.

Unscientific take on climate change, IMO

I don’t think the issues you raise are valid.
It costs more than zero to levy a fine, but we are talking about many billions in income here. Your point would be valid if gathering staff and then fining Google 9 billion were a net zero. It isn’t.
We are likely better off having that money reinvested in preventing other companies from these practices.
Which is what I suggested. The best way to prevent these practices is libre alternatives.
Take some of that money you get fining surveillance-capitalists and use it to fund privacy-respecting libre alternatives
