Well, if we really cannot say, then I don't see SE having any reason to risk what they have now by changing it.

SO why should the Battle Content Devs be restricted because some people can't be bothered to try a bit harder, to think a bit more. In my opinion its disrespectful to them to have to stifle themselves like this to make content "approachable".
Art and music doesn't directly affect social interaction like battle content.

Data should never be constrained, it should be free to use, and SE and Yoshi-P should encourage players to considerate of others with said data. And change the ToS for those who aren't and make it a very swift perma ban. That way the data can be used, and people will help, or stay quiet if they dont want to help and simply remove those players from their group.
People can help or stay quiet right now. Data constraint isn't the issue when it comes to people helping other people in the game.
