I don’t see how this comment relates to my post or the broader conversation at all. This seems highly off-topic.

Well, my intent was to highlight that there is a similarity: those deciding how (or if) this data should be collected wish to suppress it because they believe it would result in change when they are invested in the status-quo.

Fundamentally trying to insulate data collection from those with invested with the status-quo (in all situations) would be sensible.
