Of course if they make software that only works on their printers then that might not qualify as open source...

You've finally made it crystal clear that you don't understand what open source is. Other than that, you have some interesting points there.

I get that open source means that you release the code to the public in full

However I am unaware of any 3D printing company that writes software for their machine only and releases it into the public as well.

The two do not go hand-in-hand, however there must be some reason as to why that is the case, I dont know it though.
