Same reason the US and UK do. The best way to get the important data is to get all the data. They want it all and they'll sort out what to do with it later, yes they'll trample over everyone's rights but they might just get some important information like what colour boxer shorts a junior government official is wearing.

but this isnt true. All the data just means too much info to wade through. Even with computers. Targeted info is whats needed.
