The new service transfer will definitely bring the potential opportunity for protected back-end database reads. API is definitely in the roadmap now.

I disagree. If everyone runs at high efficiency, then thats a result of them WANTING to. Right now very active players that want to run at peak efficiency dont simply because they dont know any better. Is that really fair? While this game focuses on longevity and optimization, not everyone plays that way; additionally, many more things are being added in.
At the end of the day if 100% of people find that the funnest way to play the game is at 100% efficiency, then they should be able to do that. However, it is very important to remember that the stats that you threw out to refer to "the vast majority" are completely made up. There are multiple segments that this game caters to, what you depicted primarily applies to the `hardcore` population. Which is a good thing and will possibly cause 3rd party communities and fan sites to flourish, which will only make the game and playerbase grow.
