All documentaries are edited to tell the story the director wants you to hear.

You have no idea whether the interviews are with a realistic sample of the customer base. All it takes is focusing on a couple whackos to make the entire customer base look similar.

And if you made that documentary, who would you focus on? The normals, or the outliers? If you want the most entertaining product that will make you the most money, you’ll choose the outliers.

Not saying this is the case here, but as a documentary nerd, this is absolutely not true. There are plenty of cinéma vérité documentaries out there.

You know that's not the case here. If it comes down to picking and editing interviews, it would not be possible to do so without bias.
