"Making reverse engineer harder" is just a side product of "improving security" that upper-level people like to hear.
I definitely don't want my C-suite people reading "The product X of company Y has been reversed engineered" on their newspaper.
In the old days, when businesses were not governed by pure greed, many electronic products, if not the majority, included schematics in their user manual. If a product today made a point of pride of having fully open source firmware and included a github/gitlab link, there would be no reverse engineering to write about. Security can be obtained also with an open source firmware.
