Despite the down votes, your point is salient, and a great one. It's similar to how medical officials and the media lied about masks are ineffective because they wanted to save them for medical professionals. Or how they claimed that vaccines are 100% safe, when there are in fact rare but existent severe side effects.
They think the people are too stupid to understand, so they lie to them "for their own good", which ends up backfiring and causing people to believe the opposite, because people have good bullshit detectors even when they aren't very well educated.
