No-one's said that reverse engineering it would be easy. It wouldn't be "within seconds". But believing that such reverse engineering will happen if it's required is not "magical thinking".
You do remember Topaz format, don't you? The format for which only Amazon has the creation tools? That only Amazon software could render? That was completely opaque?
