I don't think this question would get to the reason. There could be one or two persons in charge who simply shape the culture of the company, including how much to publish.
I bought a connected oxymeter (viatom). I wore it overnight on my finger with the phone nearby. The graph on the app shows exact values through the night so you can see how many time oxygen drops and for how long. It's not quite as good as the real thing but should give you an idea, and it's cheap.

It's perfectly fine to run your English text through an LLM if you're not sure about grammar/spelling. That's also how you learn to improve.
Your post is comprehensible but has multiple mistakes and they are a distraction (which is fine in this context, but in other contexts it might hinder communication).
There are at least 8 stories here on HN about this and none of them gained traction. To me this is mind-blowing, even if it's not a full cure. I would really like more color commentary from actual researchers in the domain.
Is it really not possible? Lots of corps are controlled by one or two people. They can decide what the company espouses, no?
