Why there's not any showcase of 8dio recording sessions?

A lot of sample companies has some pictures/video materials promoting their libraries as they are made. Pictures or the videos of recording process, some commentaries from people involved and all that. Any material coming out of 8Dio seems to be showcasing their libraries in action. I am keen to see those behind scenes stuff as it is simply interesting. Lack of those made me think at some point if they are actually recording it themselves or simply outsourcing. I asked on Discord and they confirmed that they record it themselves. I could imagine it is simply their approach to do stuff but it somehow makes me more invested in product when I realize how much effort it takes to make one library. Did 8Dio ever publish behind the scenes material? I know they even have now a series of youtube videos linked to Soundpaint where they explain the basis of it and still - not a single example how the samples are recorded. Getting used to Spitfire my expectations might be high... but are they?

Some 8dio libraries used to have 1 or 2 pictures of the recording session on the old webpage (like the Legion series) - some pictures are still in the walkthrough video:
But if I remember correctly, even on the old webpage, most of the libs didn't have pictures.
