Vulkan requires you to ship shaders in spir-v format, it doesn't have a source-level shader language. The generous interpretation is AMD just forgot to ship the source for those spir-v blobs since it would be a different toolchain. Looking at the size of the blobs, though, I'm not entirely sure why you're claiming "so much" of the functionality is in those blobs. Most of them you could probably pretty trivially disassmeble & understand, especially given all the inputs & outputs are not obfuscated. And the actual function code of many of them look to be relatively small.
