Yes there is. It is called a social contract.

"Social contract" is a term people use to try and bully people into things they never agreed to. Non-imaginary contracts require acceptance.
The essential elements of a social contract:
- I want it to be true real bad
- Other people are forced to comply with it
- I dictate the terms unilaterally

That's not how people use it, such as the person I replied to. There was no consent, explicit or otherwise. They use it to mean "I want things to be this way, so people should be obligated to a rule I made up because 'society'".
From being involved with high altitude spy planes and stealth planes during the Cold war through to thinking about the many satellites that are put into space that relates to national security and even the clandestine space plane, we have no idea what it's for...
There is simply no precedent to be upset about a lack of transparency from NASA. Some of that is national security. Some of that is to protect IP. Some of it is just because of the way governments work.
Factor in that actually it may relate to a private company's operational issue (SpaceX) there's even less reason for transparency.
I don't think we will ever know
