"It's possible that Yahoo and Google are providing server metrics via javascript tagging to comScore."

Your suggestion is essentially that Yahoo and Google are providing non-public data from which revenue growth/etc can almost be calculated, to outside companies?

The incentive is ad dollars. Ad companies want third party verification.
Google runs all their own advertising. They have no need for third party verification.
That explains why debaserab2 was able to find b.scorecardresearch for Yahoo, but not Google.
