In my ever-cynical view, I imagine in most cases manufacturers don't, themselves, especially care about the data from their devices. I see various other motivations:
1) Price increases. It's "smart". Pay us more.
2) Planned obsolescence. You have numerous new points of failure in your product + make repairing vastly more difficult.
3) Monetize collected data by selling it to interested parties. The data quality, or lack thereof, is a secondary concern.
