Likely because the firm knows that the subpoena that they're sending you is bullshit in the first place. They don't actually want the legal challenge.
Not true.
Technically, you are allowed to ignore ANY DMCA takedown. However, if you don't ignore it, and if you otherwise would have been guilty of copyright infringement for hosting the user-provided content at issue, then following the DMCA takedown request will immunize you (that's why it is called a "safe harbor" provision), so, if you aren't 100% certain that it's not wrong, you have a strong motive to respect it.
If the DMCA takedown request was actually fraudulent, then either there was no potentially violating material or the requester wasn't the copyright holder or their agent, so you had no liability to them to immunize against. So you absolute can ignore it as much as you want.

I assume subscribers must sue the IAP.

If I understand correctly the FTC only prevents companies from selling your data when they've told you they won't.

Explain clearly and reasonably your claim and you will likely see action and response.

Assuming their TOS says they reserve the right to share such information in response to subpoenas / their whims, I'm not sure there would be much recourse unless there's some law forbidding this.
