You dont even need clients. Public relay data is available for everyone.

What's stopping relay operators from selling user data 🤨

Or literally anyone from scraping data from relays and selling user data 🧐

The benefit is that if anyone can do it, then competition will drive the value of such data to zero, in line with how software's marginal cost is zero. Then it won't be worth their time.

That doesn't mean the data won't be collected, it will just cut out the middleman.
