It's good to be skeptical of models, but a bit too much to presume any ill intention without evidence of the same. Let's see if we can find any singular raw data source, so we can verify for ourselves (or "closer to the measurement" (which doesn't imply "closer to reality" - a good model combining several data sources would be closer to reality than a singular source), since satellite data probably needs a lot of pre-processing)
