It's hidden because the data is notoriously inaccurate. If people knew how bad, they wouldn't be using/buying the devices.
Exactly. Same as with sleeping data. When it says that you’ve been awake 3 times last night, it doesn’t really mean much. That kind of data shouldn’t be presented as being accurate. However, it could still be made accessible behind a button er menu option. For example, it might show you that the signal is intermittent because your watch band isn’t tight enough, or other anomalies. And of course you’re right: they won’t tell you that the data is of low quality and as a user you don’t necessarily know that, so in that sense it can be very misleading.
