Which is only (or more accurate: at most) true if the kernel module developers actually work for the company selling the product. And it is not (necessarily) true if the company selling the product hires external people or companies for such a job - than it is much better (and cheaper) if you get the whole source. It takes a lot of time (both work time and calendar time) to coordinate debugging of 2rd party closed source modules.
