My question on this is why would we be sending large amounts of data on
amateur radio?


"Because we can"

Actually, I agree that there may be no particular ongoing NEED for an
Amateur Radio high volume data channel, but neither was there a NEED
for LEOs, APRS, and similar "tinkerer" modes, many of which had their
genesis in ham shacks and now have morphed into commercial
applications.

I believe that the rules for Amateur Radio regulations should be
loosened to the "least required to protect other spectrum users" with
the intention to promote a renewed spirit of experimentation by hams.
