They go on to ask about cost of maintenance, hangarage, etc...

They don't ask how much I have spent hiring an aircraft from a flying club. Why not? If, like me, you try and maintain currency on several types, you cannot own or even have a share in every type

If they wanted to know about the cost of flying, then why not ask how much it has cost me to maintain my licence, how much I have spent on aircraft hire (which, in some cases, may have been more that if I owned) the cost of my medical? There is a lot more to flying than the cost of owning.

There is a clear bias to the aircraft owners here so what is the political motive behind it?

Is a farm strip an aerodrome? Surely an aerodrome would have an ICAO code assigned to it.
