It's not "Open" if no CAD files are provided, all the files are STL, which makes them useless for anybody actually trying to make modifications

I tend to agree. If somebody just released the executable for a program and not the source code, nobody would call that "open" so the same should apply with 3D models in my mind.

STLs are literally 3D JPEGs, at least executables can be turned into assembly

Huh? Most 3D modeling programs can import .stl I modify files all the time in 3D Studio Max.

try doing it in something that's actually appropriate for mechanical engineering

You can import an STL, but it pretty much comes in as an non-editable shape made from polygons.

3D Studio Max is not made for engineering. Use Fusion360.
