Palantir did not go public via a SPAC but by simply directly listing their shares for public sale. A company might choose to do this if the number of shares it offers would not be significantly valued higher going through the "traditional" IPO process. Even with a SPAC there's no avoidance of disclosures that are required per SEC filings.
