Are you saying not having those things is dangerous? They should be required to publish all of that for safety-critical devices then.

Why would arbitrary people be unable to buy test hardware? Again something to be addressed if true rather than used as an excuse.

Do they not have internet access? If they don't even work for the company anymore then that could be the only way to access that information.

Literally something which is happening on the linked Reddit page.

> not to mention all the regulations and verifications they’re subject to.

Regulations are for preventing someone else from harming you. You don't need a government incentive to protect you from yourself, you already come with that incentive.
