As far as the "trade secret" part of it, in a case like this, all somebody would have to do is get a block and they could obtain all the info you listed.

That isn't always true (lots of the German blocks have rather nonstandard design that makes calculating these properties difficult). Determining baseplate thickness also gets tricky.
I'll grant you that by and large we can look at blocks and extract the inof we need. But why should I have to go to all that trouble? There is more to a block than a picture of its channels after all. Manufacturers should explain their blocks a little more.
