I agree. It's not like what's in the SDK is super secret. Anyone can download it.
Yeah, anyone can download it, but in order to download it, you have to go through the process of accepting a license agreement that includes a NDA restriction. And if people honor the NDA then the contents of the SDK are, in fact, "super secret" because only the people bound by the NDA know what's in the SDK.
This is how it works in business. If you want to use somebody else's stuff, you often have to agree that what they tell you stops with you (or your company). If you violate the agreement, at the very least they won't be doing business with you again because you'll have a reputation of not being trustworthy.
