Is it barely measurable?
I can prove the opposite.
I do not log for anything any more that has perma-cloaks.
I see Khara, and I do not log. Why? They are likely cloaked & I will not find them.
I see anything Wilde, I do not log. Why? They are likely cloaked & I will not find them.
That's a lot of situation which people would have perhaps logged for (e.g. to hunt them), but now you know that they will only engage if they want and you cannot influence it. Cloaks enable situations in which one group entirely has the power to interact or not. And this hurts interaction, if you take 1 interaction partner out completely.
Assuming that I am not the only one who treated perma-cloaky factions like this, I am pretty sure there is a solid argument that cloaks are bad for interaction.
