Because there is probably a well-defined regulatory framework for accessing data collected by the TSA, whereas there are few or no requirements when the same data is purchased from a broker.
It is not even certain that the data actually comes from the TSA. It could come from airlines, payment companies, etc.
There is no guarantee of quality when purchasing data from a broker.
