The whole point of using economic metrics like GDP is that they are NOT politicized. You can argue to what extent that succeeded. Probably not 100%. But your suggestion is to increase politicization of GDP: change the figure to push a certain view on economic activity, as opposed to what the theory says, what's practical, and what actually happens in real life (even if the government pays a group of people to dig a hole, and another group to fill the hole back up, that's still economic activity and should be counted). That's moving things entirely in the wrong direction.
