I agree, but in the other direction.
Why bother wasting time reporting on something so meaningless at all, especially when the numbers will be fake?
COVID is endemic. It can't be reported upon at this point because it's rampant and widespread. People are getting it every day and will never be reported to any sort of government because a few days bed rest (or alternatively, nothing at all because it either isn't symptomatic or is so mild as to be ignored totally) isn't any reason to be in contact with any government, not even a hospital. Any number will be meaningless, and thus a waste of money to collect, aggregate, and publish.

You're not "ending a pandemic".
Despite the powers that be getting things far beyond what should be acceptable in a free and democratic society for years on end, the number of people who got COVID grew and grew. Now it's completely unavoidable.
It's over. We're just going to have to deal with the consequences. That's life.
There's always another crisis, and the next one we can see coming that the governments are once again ignoring until it's already upon us is going to dwarf the actual impact of covid.

The fight to end covid is over. We lost.
You can say "We just didn't violate human rights hard enough", but no. The biggest human rights violators on earth still have to deal with covid.
You can try to empty the ocean using a bucket as long and as hard as you please, the ocean will never empty.

Are you going to ora ora ora the viruses out of billions of sick people around the world like jojo?
Because actually that'd be really cool and I'd like to watch when you do.

I like to imagine this happens long after all our instances are shut down, so you'd have this one random instance tagging an instance that hasn't existed in 40 years about some historical event nobody even remembers at that point.
