In data privacy cases there are ALWAYS people that will sue - there are collectives with money and lawyers.

In general yes, but if you claim a glasshole recorded you without consent and want to sue them, it's on you to fund that legal battle. I doubt collectives are interested in individual cases.

Yes, they are. They often actually need individuals to make their case, I know of several examples.
