Sure! We should be tankfull they throw us a bone here and there(i.e. a whitepaper)...until then let's invest more in their cloud services so they can show us how small we are without them. I remember people asking why they don't open source datastore and appengine. Their response was that we are too dumb to manage it so it won't help us anyway.

If you ate not willing/able to pay for managed cloud services like Firebase, there are some really cool self-hosted alternatives out there (like deepstream.io and horizon.io). Open-sourcing software should always be a can, not a must. We could as well expect Amazon to open source DynamoDB, which is proprietary as well and still has quite a lot of users.
