I think you are missing the point. I don't need to know what's inside the black box, but how to communicate with it. Nobody wants documentation that you could send to a factory and said "make me this".
Nobody asks for firmware source code either.
In the software world, companies are happy to release API documentation - it does not reveal any secrets, but lets customers use the product in many other ways.
The same goes with chips.
