I think the main value here is not in court, it's giving people a better "bird's eye view" of how a service treats you and your data. From this point, you might decide:

- To cancel the service

- To not join in the first place

- To raise a collective stink about something onerous in the terms

Any of these things, in high numbers, could force a service provider to update their TOS to be more friendly. That's a pretty good outcome even if saying "but the ToS;DR said!!!" would never hold up in court or anywhere else.
