The article is phrased in such a way as to make Apple look good. They're not releasing source code, they're just not encrypting the binary image any more, which basically makes them the same as everybody else in that respect.
Encrypting the kernel image was an attempt to prevent jailbreaking and hide security vulnerabilities, and as far as I know, nobody else ships an encrypted kernel image because those reasons don't make sense on most other platforms.
