Analysis algorithms are either hard to use or too incapable. I read an article in Nature where ML was used in multiple N-of-1 studies but that approach was both incomplete and difficult for the average user.

Sources can be misleading. Food companies will give bad data to make themselves look good. Even user can have biases due to "negative engagement of user".
