What prevents the WHOIS database operator from doing the same query logging?



The WHOIS database operator is the registry, not a registrar. (I believe they're actually required to be separate entities.) So, unless there's a shady back-room deal going on between the registry and one of their registrars, the registry has no incentive to log their queries.
