Because no one will sell them an exclusive license to the data.
The companies selling this data are slimy. They're borderline crimelords. Picture a pirate captain with a hostage that he is ransoming. Now imagine he gets his ransom, but before he releases the hostage he makes a copy of her. Then ransoms the copy to another interested party. But before he releases the copy, he makes another copy and... you get the idea.
It's pirate thinking.
