All those questions boil down to that we have a reasonable (well, more or less :) public financial bookkeeping because of taxes, but we don't have any whatsoever about real resources. Data about actual resource usage of processes are almost impossible to get by because of this. I don't think the moment is far away where resource usage often is more important to know than the financial situation, in terms of public policies, and resource bookkeeping (or at least thinking about it) would be the logical consequence.
