Just to add to your point: there's actually quite a few beloved documentaries that follow a person or subculture on a well-meaning but doomed pursuit, and do so in a way that presents the documentary subjects in a favourable light. Off the top of my head I can think of: Anvil, I think we're alone now, American movie, and The Queen of Versailles.What's funny about it is that it's the exact type of documentary that could become a cult classic at the very least and propel Ash into being able to make proper documentaries. But his refusal to barely touch on the subject just shows you that just like YWNBAW, he'll also NBAD (Never Be A Documentarian).
He wouldn't even have had to get completely malicious about it. He could've easily just edited them into being completely naive idiots who had no idea how to actually run a farm (likely true too).
This approach is unacceptable to Ash and his pro-troon audience because it would require the film to lean into the weirdness of the Tranch, and then ultimately come to grips with the fact that the tranch was probably always doomed to fail.
What the media wanted, and what Ash wanted, was for the Tranch to be a symbol that troons aren't helpless basket cases and could actually be tough self-sustaining preppers. It also needed to reinforce a world view that the rest of the world is full of nazis and troons are on the brink of being genocided. They'd rather memory hole the whole thing rather than present tranch leadership as well meaning but ultimately out of their depth, or present the locals as confused by the tranch but not especially evil or bigoted.
