What are the nuances/shortcomings of benchmark data?

The disparity between RE and PE (for example) in Prequin is astonishing. If you were to purely look at returns data from 2004-present, you could draw the conclusion that you should basically only invest in PE. What’s the story not told in the data? Is the true disparity really that great, or is the data biased in some way?
