Offsetting growing costs is a good thing and helps minimize service cost increases. Stockholders don't really care either way as long as the bottom line continues to grow at a decent rate. The "asshole" that came up with the idea will most likely receive a decent bonus if enough revenue is generated.
Sounds like a win all around except for the few people that are whining about their "privacy" being invaded.
