I accept your point, in the sense that I wouldn't suggest that they have any obligation to share their own research.
What seems to be different here, is that they are saying they won't let you use their tool to do your own research.
It is a subtle but important difference. They aren't saying "we have secret sauce we won't share", they seem to be saying "we will prevent the tool you are paying for from independently creating a competing idea".
