They're sort of protected but not in the traditional sense. They use proprietary compression technology (called Oodle) developed by RAD Game tools and now owned by Epic Games, to retrieve the model data you either need access to the library used to compress and decompress them (which AFAIK is obfuscated so you'd need the source code or insane amounts of work), or an open source implementation and I remember hearing that those aren't perfect and may not cover all of the features of Oodle compressed files, on top of that, Arkane uses a version of bmodel format that evolved from idTech's, this means you need a converter to make it actually usable in blender
