This information is easily accessible publicly literally one search to get the aircraft registration number

Except it isn't. Elon's jet has been subscribed to this program for months:

https://www.faa.gov/air_traffic/technology/equipadsb/privacy

This was confirmed by Elon himself: https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/1603803508087537665

So if Elon's aircraft identifier was meant to be publicly accessible even though he is using that program, why does this privacy program exist in the first place?
