I’m wondering: is there a good list of data privacy failure consequences? There are good lists of breaches but few describing what happened to the people afterwards. Credit card theft resulting in a loss being the most obvious one. Such concrete (real) examples would help me to argue with people who say: all this non-sense about data privacy. What would anyone want to do with your data anyways?

Torture, rape and imprisonment based on phone data (Belarus 2022)

In mere privacy terms? - a women start planning to have a child, her employer know that, she got fired before the conception, legally; - you are someone who know his/shes knows his rights, no jobs for you since you are not easy to exploit; - you have a certain political opinion, not nice toward the present government? You'll got hard career and all possible "issues", just like getting more traffic red lights than som…
Thanks. I was looking for real cases. Theory won't convince the nay-sayers
I'm pretty sure that's documented. The courts slammed that drawer shut, pretty hard.
Something that might hit a little closer to home, here: When I was still looking for work, about four or five years ago, a couple of the companies asked me to tell them my HN ID (I'm not sure if I had joined here, back then).
That's one of the reasons that I try to behave well, here. I'm not looking for work, but a lot of y'all are. I try not to propagate fights (although it can be tough), because the person that really gets harmed, is the one attacking me. They are showing their ass, in front of potential employers and teammates, and, even though I might not like them, I don't want to play a part in their not getting a job.

Victims of domestic violence or stalking. Victims of personal vendettas or bigotry from figures in authority. Victims of exploitative employers. These victims have done nothing wrong and they need privacy.
All kinds of people are randomly distributed throughout all professions and strata of society. Politicians, police, lawyers, doctors, posties, real estate agents, chefs. All have great and terrible human representation.
Now think about a person you distrust/dislike the most in your life. Would you want to give them access to everything about you?
The type of person that you like least will eventually have access to your information. If you don't protect your privacy now, who will protect you then?

ask them to share their email password
This is also why the snippy "so you don't have (locks on your doors/blinds on your windows/etc.)?" comeback does not work.
