For those of you wondering why ifixit is being so "kind" to Samsung with the takedown, here's my opinion (I have worked in silicon valley smart phone supply chain).
Most likely the person who provided ifixit the phone did not think Samsung would request them back. Samsung did request it back and now they are in a jam, risking losing access to future devices. Ifixit doesn't want to lose their source of prerelease devices or burn their partner.
