It is very natural that a car will have multiple owner during its life,
and the information about a car's history since purchased new should
be available to any new owner.
I don't understand what is the big deal here

The "big deal" is that the federal courts ruled shops cannot release the data without permission, period. So regardless of anyone's opinion on the subject, it is what we have to deal with. This has even cost the shops money as we are now required to store all such data "in a secure location which complies with federal guidelines".
It is no different than a four lane, wide open roadway with a 25 MPH speed limit, you ignore it at your own peril...………...
