You'd be surprised how many do offer personally identifiable information.
I once worked for some people who kept their users' passwords in unencrypted form. Aside from the sadly inevitable "password5"s and "pa55w0rd123"s the number of "DaveSmith1974" type entries was a real eye-opener.
98.4% of statistics are made up on the spot.

I do sometimes wish I was useless enough to code our systems with a form a reversible password, it would be fun to look at some of the choices people make.
I wonder if Dave Smith is 44, or if that's just the number of times his company's password policy made him change his password

Even for a reversible password, the encryption engine can incorporate the password into its own encryption (decryption). Given the attempt at the password, it can still use it for the comparison.
This makes compromising one key is less of a disaster, as it doesn't compromise them all.

Does it apply to the government too?
Then it would be a good law. Like that would ever happen.

After the argument escalated, neighbors say that the husband, a composer, threatened to smother his wife with his sheet music. Before anyone could help, witnesses say he's already begun killing her softly with his song.

Had he succeeded, he would be composing and she would be decomposing.

But that couldn't happen again
We taught them a lesson in nineteen eighteen
And they've hardly bothered us since then
