I don't think much good will come out of this.

That is certainly a possible outcome and a reasonable worry.
To me, it seems like consumers would want that information to make more informed choices. A free market requires freedom of information for all parties. If companies are "benefiting" by keeping this information from consumers (this assumption is baked into your comment that educating consumers would cause boycotts), we are further away from a free market.
