If a vendor wants their software proprietary and secret, I can respect that and would be perfectly fine with full hardware schematics and documentation. Since that's something I physically own anyway. In the ancient times, providing schematics (and even repair manuals) for things like TVs or cars was the norm. Obviously, that's not happening, but as a fantasy wish - I would love to see this becoming a thing again.
