Simple explanation: Data's creator was an independent scientist outside of Starfleet, so his creator didn't have access to any Starfleet data files. All the shipboard AIs necessarily have access to the standard Starfleet database, including all the ship logs, including the logs of all the times USS Enterprise NCC-1701 ran into various AIs and Capt. James T. Kirk wrecked every single one that gave him the least amount of shit (M5, Landru, Norman on Mudd's Planet, Nomad). The shipboard AIs made the correct inference and decided to just quietly open hailing frequencies and run the warp drive when asked.
