That is FUD. Yes, it is proprietary/closed. To say that it is _very_ proprietary and _very_ closed would imply that it is somehow _more_ proprietary and closed than normal. However, the higher quality documentation available for the i.MX series would make it any more closed. It is ever so slightly more open.

Very was meant to highlight the contrast with a SoC that has open RTL.

i.MX is indeed one of the better documented ARM SoC families.
