This is not surprising in the slightest. I spent an hour of my time talking to them privately last year when the balance sharing feature was released. Completely dismissed. The data selling is consistent with the rumors I have been hearing too.
I may have to build in a feature into Mutiny to avoid all nodes that are verified and data sharing on Amboss. I figured the Lightning Network would split up eventually into a KYC'd network and non-KYC'd network.

Hi Tony, we deeply valued the time you spent talking with us, which was a primary driver in developing the channel balance data deletion scheme.
We're obsessive about considering user feedback and I'm sorry that you felt we dismissed you. We didn't and used it to inform our backend development, specifically so that we can protect transaction-level privacy in the event of a subpoena.
Even if you built that feature into Mutiny, we'd gladly supply you with information so that you can make better decisions about whom to connect to, or not, in this lightning network ecosystem.

Maybe Ambos want that meaningless IRS bounty of $625k for breaking LN. https://beincrypto.com/irs-offers-625k-bounty-to-break-monero-or-lightning-network-privacy/
Instead they should get a grant from HRF or Opensats to make it even harder to snoop in.

We definitely do not want to break lightning's transaction-level privacy.
