they make enough money

You're expecting a private company to stop at "enough"?

selling it would actually end up LOSING them profit as that money would go to other advertising agencies.

They do both.

They literally don't. I don't know why you feel the need to infer some super secret financial transactions. The article is talking about "above-board" financial transactions on ad data marketplaces. Any data transferred to the US government is using their other programs which probably are more convoluted than just handing over money.
