I like how you've thoroughly broken this down. The point about financing gaps is something I keep coming back to as well. The $4 trillion annual shortfall is astounding, and it makes you realize that a lot of the "slow progress" isn't really about lack of political will, it's just countries literally not having the money to act. I also think that your point about conflict is really accurate, it's hard to focus on clean water or education targets when there's active war happening.
One thing I would add is that even where data coverage has improved, the quality of that data varies a lot between regions, which probably makes the picture even messier than the numbers suggest.
