For many use cases yes but for data mining, aggregation,
meta analyses and the like it can become tricky to keep
track who to acknowledge for what.

Don't get me wrong. In many cases there are good reasons
for CC-BY and making data available in the first place is always
better than not doing it at all irrespective of the particular license.
It's just worth pointing out that there are differences and
what those differences are.
