With basically almost every company collecting all our data at all times, who exactly are they selling it too? Wouldn't all these companies by this point have all yhe same information?

It depends if you do new things tomorrow means new data to collect. This business is mainly a market forecast not only on your past details but especially on what you do today and you will do tomorrow. If tomorrow, for example, you arrange a wedding, by knowing I can arrange it to make my own profit for example by selling you white roses.
