Indeed.
Moreover, if you are someone looking to actually use products
such as the ones under test, it would be a benefit to know which
products worked and which ones didn't, or which ones had what
problems in what environments, so that you would have a better idea
as to what products might be suitable for use in your own environment.
IMO, tests like this without full disclosure are meaningless.
