That is bizarre. I remember discussing the very same issue with Polish vendor (aka ArtaTech). Even they as a distributor were not granted access to GPL sources, only limited SDK, which funnily, was taken down from GitHub later on. The same applied to obfuscated kernel which I have managed to retrieve from one of employees account, which led to unlocking bootloader, signing updates, etc... My guessing is that they are either unwilling to share it due to fear of competition or lack of proper separation of stuff which they built on top of OSS.
