Yes, companies mess up. ...and also, apparently, "occasionally". When a company with a market cap of ~$USD115 billion shows the "inability to provide complete corresponding source to us for all requested products more than 2 years after our first request"[iii] then (a) by my standard that cannot be considered merely a "mess up"; and, (b) given general corporate aversion to legal risk that implies, for me, many smaller companies with even less visibility also think & act the same way. You may disagree with that assessment. "Voice AI" is another recent example: https://www.theregister.com/2023/02/08/voiceai_open_source/ https://www.theregister.com/2023/02/08/voiceai_open_source/ I don't see either reply to your previous comment mention China at all. But when there are multiple unresolved issues with Western companies that in theory are directly subject to Western "IP" laws, one could ask where it would be most productive to expend one's efforts.
