Unfortunately, the current situation is quite different. MediaTek does not release kernel sources to the public, while Qualcomm does.

Device manufacturers are obligated to release kernel sources to end users to comply with GPLv2, but many do not, and Qualcomm's source code releases make supporting Snapdragon-based devices a little bit easier for ROM developers.
It's a shame, since the Dimensity 9000 performs better than the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1.
- userbinator 4y agoMTK source code is(was?) available from the actual device manufacturer. I can't say for Qualcomm in particular but from what I've seen in the past, open-source releases are not at all a good substitute for the actual documentation, which tends to be heavily guarded.
