I am not questioning the value of data collection... I guess I am more questioning the data quality and applications.
I suppose it's less relevant if we agree some data is better than none. I also wonder about the relevance to the weekend warrior. Is this something that really will improve their game? Or is it just a fun way to engage in a hobby? Maybe it doesn't matter from a market viability standpoint.

Yes, if they're interested in improving it. For basically all the reasons coldpie has already pointed out. It's true that you'd need to practice specifically as well as play games--it's much harder to develop higher consistency from the dynamic environment of a real game--but that's not unusual.
