No, you can test and gauge the quality of that data. At this point, you're not really even making a point about whether or not we should introduce biases in our models to make them match our worldview - you're saying the entire endeavor of trying to build a model is worthless. If what you're saying is true, that we can't measure what decisions are successful or unsuccessful, then there's no point in trying to build a model because we no way of knowing whether the model is working or not.

It is the claim of vendors that their models works. It is irresponsible to just take their word for it, and such tests and critique need be ongoing.
