I agree and I have an idea for one possible solution that I've wanted to implement for years. It could be a business but, I think maybe it would be better for the world if it was open source. I just haven't had the time or support to do it, as it would need full-time effort even to get it started.
It's one of those... I know I should just do it kind of things, even just to get it out there, but I haven't found the inertia.
Seeing things like dat, quiltdata, public data sets, etc. made me think what I wanted to do was unnecessary, but I also agree with your comment.
I think a core problem is data democracy / control / politics of data. Too much we still act silo'ed instead of benefiting from massive data sharing, for a multitude of reasons (especially but not limited to $$$).
