While some of us intuitively get it, a clearer word here might be “transparent”.

The business stats (income generated, views, etc) are available publicly, the business practices and choices might be available, the customer data is of course not available, and the service is not required to be free.

Think of these as very valuable learning tools for how to run your own business (and IMHO a pretty great marketing tool for them).
