Can someone explain to me, preferably in baby words, why so many providers view information like https://as37100.net/?bgp <https://as37100.net/?bgp> as secret/proprietary? I've interacted with numerous providers who require an NDA or pinky-swear to get a list of their communities -- is this really just 1: security through obscurity, 2: an artifact of the culture of not sharing, 3: an attempt to seem cool by making you jump through hoops to prove your worthiness, 4: some weird 'mah competitors won't be able to figure out my secret sauce without knowing that 17 means Asia, or 5: something else?
Not sure the rationale of leeping them secret, but at least one aggregated source of dozens of them exists and has been around for a long time. https://onestep.net/communities/
