It really depends. If you know your competitor and understand their core business, then opening garage doors can actually screw them up.
I am working in an industry where if one competitor would go open source and created decent open application, whole industry will effectively implode because end customers will always choose cheaper solution, which in case of open source would be for free.
Actually decoys are very useful in Ukraine Russian war. It is usually decoys of air defense or long range precision fires like Himars and target is to waste resources of opponents long range fires which are limited and/or expensive.
Further more you can also reveal position of the attacker and counterfire.
