The answer is in the complexity in creating secret technology that is also foolproof.

To make a car analogy, we can make a submarines that are waterproof, and we can make cars which looks like a car and you can drive on the road. However, to make a car that is also a submarine is quite hard, and close to impossible if you also had to make it look like a normal car. It would even be harder if it need perfect obscurity so that you couldn't even tell if you opened up the hood or started to disassemble the car.

So the answer is "we should give up because it is hard"?

You seem to be of the belief that engineering is constrained not by reality, but by imagination. Are you a product manager, by chance?

No, we should give up because the goal is bad.

Well, more that we should give up because it's hard, and the benefits are almost non-existent.
