But don't you sign all that away in the terms of service? As in, Strava get to do what they want with it while you use the service and until you tell them to delete your data. You own it but you either allow them free reign or you don't in which case you pick up your ball and go home.
But you don't own any work product made using your data and other people's was the point i was making. That's what you said is valuable, and I agree. I think we maybe are talking about different things.

No, there is indeed such a right as the one to withhold some types of data from being used. That's why, for example, all patients whose data I work with have to have signed a release form in order for us to comply with GDPR.
The whole discussion about people's data isn't just about people themselves having access to it, though that is of course nice (e.g. being able to download all your Facebook data). It's also about who gets to use it and how.
In this context, 'owning your data' is completely meaningless if it isn't tied to some control over its use. A point made quite forcefully by industry when it was their data whose use they were keen on controlling, e.g. copying music etc.
