Understandable but I expect that the teams don't get to decide. F1 already sends throttle, brake, engine RPM and other potentially sensitive data to the TV feed.
That said I highly doubt there's a direct tire tread depth monitor. My guess would be it is an estimate ginned up using cornering force data, decel/accel data, etc. and then presented as a graphic. From everything I've seen regarding Suzuka it needs some tweaking.
