The comparison is ludicrous. Non-obfuscated binaries, often with debug symbols, are much easier to reverse-engineer and analyze than hardware. Additionally, you can analyze binary diffs, much like source code. You would not start from scratch at each new version. Let's also not forget how hard it is to verify source code, and how very rarely it is done.
