Just because it's private doesn't mean the owner doesn't care about its value.
If this doesn't play out the way he wants, he will look to sell. After all, it is still a database of info about 300+ million people, which is worth something, but if nobody will pay anywhere close to $44B, he might as well have thrown that money into the toilet.

It's actually not how it works.
