> there are keys on the device that would leak if meta opened it up.

Are these keys not functionally leaked as soon as you ship the device to customers?

With enough encryption, obfuscation, and security-through-obscurity, you can make it extremely difficult to obtain those keys.

Companies like Microsoft, Nintendo, and Sony ship consoles that are the target of a very motivated black market/cheating industry, and it usually takes years before any serious leaks surface.
