The ATECC608A itself has an NDA'd datasheet, though.

Yes, however it is pretty much identical to the non-NDA'ed ATECC508.

Also the ATECC608A library from Microchip is open source and you can gather all necessary info from there.

Then we also have the NXP AT71CH with all info available publicly.

I think that's his point, and that's why he's glad to see it in the newer version.

I didn't know the ATECC608A had an NDA'd datasheet. But as far as I remember all documentation needed to utilize it from software (e.g. I2C protocol) was available, in PDF or in code (https://github.com/MicrochipTech/cryptoauthlib/).
