It rarely does become open source. Then we are in a situation where someone might be interested enough to reverse engineer it. Or, the product dies. Its kind of crazy to think a good piece of hardware is only as good as the code can be read.
Usually it is propietary knowledge.
Usually its only good for a certain amount of time, then they have to replace it witha newer model.
Thats why mechanical is better, in my opinion.
