Suppose a bad actor gets access to this information. Suppose this bad actor has the "political view" that people with your specific profile shouldn't be allowed to vote. Suppose they have the network to get a small army of really big guys to stand in front of your house on election day. That's a very superficial example on why you shouldn't want companies to have any of your data unless it's necessary.

Not just an example, it happens in black neighborhoods in the South every election. Usually at polling centers or churches instead of individual houses, but if they had the manpower they'd go to houses.
