I guess that's just a mindset, but I see proprietary extensions created and used everywhere.
Especially in the context of firmware, I never once made any assumptions about this being a default file-format, nor that tooling for this extension was a path was worth digging deeper into.
Ironically the author has found lots of good tools I didn't know about which more or less should automatically reveal this, before he himself arrives at this conclusion.
Facepalm, indeed.
