Only reason it wasn’t is because it shows no pattern or support to their conclusions.
If IIRC, you build turbines. You measure everything, right? It’s recorded, so you know it was done right. The customer prob has engineers that want to see that info to verify what they are getting.
How often to your customers ‘buy on faith’?

I don't build turbines, but I worked on them before I moved into management a couple of decades back.
I'm basically retired now doing a little consulting.
My customers hire me based on their faith in my reputation, proven expertise and experience and hands-on knowledge. Or not
I don't know if that stuff works against covid 19 or not and have not taken a side in that argument in this thread. I haven't even read the entire thread, only some of it.
I simply added some more information that I felt was pertinent to the discussion. A doctor with an opinion based on personal observation, and a reference to the study discussed above.
So now I'll throw in my 2 cents:
It looks to me that lots of people with hands-on experience say it helps.
It's also my understanding that it has been used for a long time as a malaria drug with limited and known side effects.
So I don't see the rationale behind the big pushback. "Just because" doesn't feed the bulldog.
I'm not aware of significant risks and I'm hearing about potential benefit according to many.
Worst case is it's just a placebo and we waste time and money?
Best case is it prevents the premature death of thousands of patients?
If it were up to me I'd be pushing for a nation-wide trial, a hands-on test.
But it's not up to me.
I know one thing for sure: if I were sick with covid 19, I'd be saying GIVE ME SOME OF THAT CHLOROQUINE STUFF RIGHT FRIGGIN NOW!!!!!
Wouldn't you?
