Product Catalog should count all products

I was just informed that when using the Products dataset "Only products updated in the last 24 months will be represented." and "we focus on products that are actively being used. This means that we only include products that are associated with a ticket, agreement, or sales order"

This makes no sense to me. I'm looking to create a snapshot gauge so I can see at a glance how many products I have, and see the same data by category and subcategory, so we can keep the product catalog clean. Since this dataset does not include all the products in the product catalog (not even all the active ones) it would be incomplete.
