I am curious as to why the TRU is not adopted as a standard metric.

1.Corporations that sponsor scholars dislike it.

2.Politicians dislike it (because if TRU were adopted as the standard, the unemployment rate a critical metric for evaluating their political achievements—would drastically increase).

3.The current system fundamentally operates on legacy metrics, despite the widespread knowledge that they fail to accurately reflect reality.

It seems to me that TRU captures reality much better, so I am wondering why it is not widely used as the standard.
