Really?
I guess it depends on the machine but I imagine it isn't so hard to
dismantle a machine to find out how it works? (But I have no experience
with that, it's just a guess)
Reverse Engineering software can be pretty hard if the author made it
deliberately hard, like Skype.
If you have no idea how a material is built, such as a new kind of glass,
you have to guess. There are often few clues left behind of how to build
a physical machine. This is not the same for software, which can always
be disassembled.
