Why not run hooks.collect_data_files() by default for all modules or provide an option to do so

In a series of import errors I have been facing in trying to freeze a django application, I was surprised to see how quickly I could solve the data file missing errors for a module (rest_framework) by using PyInstaller.utils.hooks.collect_data_files(..) method. I couldn't help wonder, what prevents from running this utility method on all the modules identified as part of the freeze process by default or atleast have an option in pyinstaller (if we are concerned about file sizes etc) to do so? If we have it as an option - then it could be specified in the trouble shooting doc - to try and run with that option to see if that solves the issues. This could prevent or reduce a lot of grief on user side and also prevent having additional import hooks either on user side or checked into PyInstaller that are just collecting data files. Thoughts ?

Start by reviewing PyInstaller.utils.hooks.collect_data_files(..) and how the freeze process identifies modules. Compare the proposed default behavior with an opt-in option, including file-size implications and the troubleshooting documentation. Done means a decided approach is implemented or documented with clear guidance for missing data files.
