? There are more private stuff in the world than what's public on the Internet. Naively believing that private parts must be the minor part and basically everything should be already on the WWW is pure arrogance.

Google paid a lot of effort a while back into putting up obsolete as hell 130nm Skywater PDK on the public 'net. I've seen people on social media describing their anxiety from just seeing some industry specific shapes and forms out in the open, despite knowing those files were thoroughly cleared for release and completely fine for anyone to see.

Reading up stuffs on WWW and thinking it should cover most of everything is like placing yourself in clothes of pre-war physicists who thought physics is all figured out like a sunny backyard except there's a tiny black pinhole in the sky called quantum physics that idiots are obsessed with. There's a whole universe(s) behind it.
