Everyone is mad at Tesla but they're literally the only company collecting this kind of crash metadata.

Other car manufacturers would never get in trouble for this because it's not even possible for them to do it in the first place!

People aren't mad that they collect the data, everyone does that, but that they immediately deleted it, then lied about it ever happening, in a matter of life and death.

I would deeply encourage you to re-assess whatever led you to make this comment, because you have fallen wildly off the mark here. Corporations are not your friend.
