Can you give more details about the security aspect?

Currently users can still search sks key servers by names, with
Lynx... :-) As understood key server operators can still give a whole
dump to 3rd parties, which like to analyze the data, or third parties
run their own key server and analyze the data. So what purpose should
your suggestion serve?

If you are talking about GDPR issues, those keys server operators
are not "licensed" by governmental institutions and run their servers
according to some strict regulations.
