Happy Friday.
There's a reason you never see a pre-made 110V or 240V electrical connection with two different plug connectors and only one socket connector. They're simply a bad idea. Just like a cable with a plug connector at each end. Bad. Very, very bad.
As I am an electrical engineer, do you need me to explain it to you, or are you willing to just take my word for it? Or are you unwilling to accept that this is a bad idea unless you prove it to yourself somehow?
Now if I tell you, as a cybersecurity professional, that PII, PHI, and other similar data should be treated as a liability and not an asset will you simply believe me? Do I need to explain it to you for you to accept that as true? Do you need to prove it to yourself first?
If you were more resistant to taking my word for the second item than the first, why? Is it because I lack business credentials, and this is a business decision? Is it because collecting PII is your business model?
