The data is obfuscated and the cost to unlock the value of it is often not worth the effort.

And yet billions of dollars (at least) has gone into it. A whole group of people with access to the data and the means to sift it disagree and are willing to put their money behind it, so your bare assertions count for nowt.
Great. What do you think that proves? That doesn't negate my inital argument. The data is largely useless, and often counterproductive. The evidence shows the vast majority of plots are foiled through conventional means, and ruling out false positives is more trouble than it's worth. I cited sources in this thread. Where are your sources?

"Corporations and the US government are spending money on it, so it must be useful." Are you serious? Lmao.
