Very few companies actually have any “trade secrets”. The success of almost any business is based on marketing and distribution and reputation and partnerships, not on any “secret”.
It's one of the classic mistakes of people who are not entrepreneurs. They try to keep things too secret and they spend a lot of time and effort keeping things secret while real entrepreneurs who have actually made millions on the market know secrecy rarely matters.

In the world of B2B, there are definitely companies that provide service based on direct personal experience of senior employees. While they may be using the same software available to others, it's the logic to know what to tell that same ol' software what to do that matters. Over my entire career I have dealt with multiple companies that write code but have zero knowledge about the subject matter the code is being written for so that basic mistakes are made resulting in utterly ineffective software.
