What pisses me off is that after they are done going through the data, they often still don't release the files.

There is a reason why publicly available information is useful (think about historians for instance), and by locking it for these only 100 orgs (which will then forget about it in half a year when the scandal is done) you lose on the opportunity to do future research, books, etc. on this

The newspaper leading in this investigation has been very open to research of such data it received in the past – not just opening the data, but also funding it.
