I'm not saying it is reasonable. But it is at least one reason why folks feel the need to fake register.
Buy an eBook and some companies have your information. What's different? NOTHING!

I get where you are coming from.
There is no way to read commercial eBooks legally without giving some information. Even library eBooks need your information and in the US in the case of Kindle eBooks from the library, you have to give your library and Overdrive your information and then you also have to give your information to Amazon. You can't win. So why bother?

Now that is a scary statement.
I've never had any problems with Amazon or Kobo or Google.
