The sad thing about this chip is that you won’t even get a datasheet for it, nor a reference manual. At least SocioNext didn’t want to share it with me. That’s why I prefer NXP or anything else that has NDA-free datasheets.

I don't see any evidence to support a claim that they've changed at all. They're still the worst.

Here's another way to look at it: perhaps the commenter you replied to was familiar with Broadcom's policies from some years ago, but had not kept up to date with them and didn't want to say one way or the other about Broadcom's current behavior.
