This seems to be the rule in general with large companies.

They say it's because if such teams don't operate under secret protocols, the "bad guys" will discover the loopholes in them. But I rather suspect that this has more to do with evading legal liability.

I tend to agree with you. Trust and Safety teams make a lot of judgement calls that they don’t want being disclosed because many of those calls are subjective.
