This tool is essential for researchers to access US population statistics. The modification in connection with the US government shutdown seems to have done more harm than any good it could have caused.

I guess this most likely was more a protest situation then anything else.
Put putting on a tinfoil hat for a moment:
what if that was the point?
the current US government has repeatedly based reasoning around points directly contradicted by existing statistics, studies etc. some of them being "gone" seems to be more helpful then harmful for them. E.g. see how statistics and data about climate change collected by US organs seems to be increasingly hard to access. If that works why not also do it for crime statistics, population statistics etc.
