Yeah this tracks with my experience in tech. All packaged and hyped under the brand of "Data Science".
Can't tell you how many times I was able to directly prove a change lead to a bad user experience only to be met with "Yeah but the data shows..." by some corpo cock sleeve of a manager or team lead.
All these shithead corps are actively monitoring AND MODIFYING USER BEHAVIOR without understanding human psychology or behavior science, because "The data shows"
IMO nothing short of a complete revolt in whatever fucking form that looks like.
