You are putting a nefarious spin on it.
I think the problem is money.
The industry apparently does not have the free cash required to invest in technology that might improve the overall quality of the timing very marginally and give us better lengths behind data at the fractional calls too.
Trakus was actually an attempt to do that because it comes with other benefits like the chicklets, ground loss etc..
It's just a fact that Trakus makes some mistakes and is not consistent in it's ground loss measurements from track to track. The technology needs some work.
Given that reality, there was nothing nefarious about the change or with an individual either timing races on their own or watching races trying to find errors in the running lines.
