I think human lazyness as you say is the biggest obsticle. My kids school sent out a Google form the other day to collect family stats. A google form requires a google email and i had degooglised the family 5-6 years ago. My wife was concerned that not providing the info would singke out my son but i was determined to not fill that form, thus passing my data to Google. So i called up the school and sought a second method. The school secretary eventually agreed to record the info over the phone. I lost 30 mins of my day. Basically, if we don't have the will to mske change, change will never come. But then we have no right to complain, do we?
