I'd say you should. I'd rather see this as being publicly and freely available to everyone rather than some shady "Big Tech" analytics company.
If the "weapons" exist, I would feel more comfortable knowing everyone can access them, not just an elite that can use it for their own (selfish) purposes.
I am genuinely torn, because my initial reaction was almost the exact opposite, but the comparison to a weapon does ring true. And there is indeed an argument to be made for level playing field. At the very least, maybe counter-measures can be developed.
People don't usually understand privacy risks till their own curtains fall down.
