Your OP has been answered. People have explained how the numbers are generated and why they may seem off to you. Your decision to ignore the reasonable, logical answers backed up by the pga tour and trackman is plain moronic. And you won’t change your mind regardless of the proof. So I’m done here.
ETA:
FFS. An average is meant to include those things. Always has. You can normalize it but that’s not what they’re doing. It’s real life situations. Stock yardages are certainly different. It’s where you’d expect a full, well-hit shot to go on a flat surface with no wind. That’s not what Trackman is for unless you are getting fitted and it makes those adjustments. It’s that simple. Okay. Now I’m done.

The point of average is to take out mishits, nukes, downwind, upwind, downhill, uphill, cold, hot, three finger iron, back foot iron, etc. That’s what an average is for. To get enough data to neutralize those variables. The variables are there, but they become marginalized as data overtakes it So, you beleive Rory’s stock non-variable effected driver is297 carry and Harmans is 272 and the average stock 6 iron is 188. I disagree.

This is exactly what an average is. You believe if Rory McIlroy was about to hit a drive and you had to guess the carry number to win a million bucks, the best guess is 297 yards.
Sorry, I think you are full of shite if you told me that would be your number
