I struggle to see the point in silencing Media Create when Famitsu exists.

And why would Sony be fine with NPD last gen when PS3 got its ass kicked by 360 but silence it now when PS4 beats XB1?

Bingo!!!! You bring up a very good point. Why would Media Create hide data behind a paywall (which is what they said they are doing), when Famitsu and Dengeki releases that data for FREE???? That sounds like self sabotage on Media Create's part to me. WHO is going to buy that data when it is free elsewhere? Sounds to me like there was some outside influence that made Media create do something stupid. As for you second point AGAIN, NPD STARTED to hide data during the PS3/Xbox 360/Wii generation.

Bold: Correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't we have monthly leaks until 2015 where NPD's ninjas started to hunt down leakers such as Aquamarine? In 2015, Sony dominated the gaming world and it seems like such a weird time for them to begin requiring NPD to stop leakers.
