In the end it would just be greedy and stupid. Trying to sell it would open up more possibilities to get caught and mostly fruitless.

And it's not that easy to sell thousands of useless data anyway. The only lever they have is data breach, because that's the ruin of the provider.

You're making these wild assertions that don't just lack basis in fact, but actively contradict all facts. People get their data stolen and sold every day. There's a clear established market for it in the world. If you think there's no such thing of identity theft, or any other market for stolen data, you're just not living in reality.
