That's the way I look at it. They wouldn't be doing this if there wasn't a net gain for them. Corporations are almost never altruistic. If they do something like this, there's more to it than they say there is. I'm guessing it's yet another way to collect data — either for more control or for more profit (or both).
Remember when Google's slogan was "Don't Be Evil" as they collected more and more personal data from you?
