Encrypted and unusable source code from ASUS

This is a request for help from XDA mods and community leaders.
Asus max phones have gained significant popularity in some countries like India, Indonesia and Russia. Asus has just released updated versions of the series a few days back. They are also very frequent on providing users with updates. The community is fairly happy on that front.
However there is one big challenge lately. For past two source code releases of the Max Pro M1 as well as the first one for Max Pro M2, source code zip uploaded on Asus website contains only encrypted gibberish, and all of ~600 MB.
Not only is this a hindrance for the development and modding community, but a violation of GPL.
Is it possible to reach out to ASUS and ask them rectify this?
Details here for Max Pro M1:

This is pathetic. I doubt that this is purely a mistake.

There is no point in releasing the kernel sources then. Is there ?
This is completely wrong. I bought this device after reading on XDA that kernel source of this device was released (probably even before the device went for sale). Vanilla Android with released kernel source in that price range seemed a pretty good deal. And I'm happy with my purchase.
I'm not a developer myself. But as a person who loves to use custom ROMs and kernels and stuffs, I know how important kenrel source is.
So far the device got a good (better than many devices) development support.
Now that Asus encrypted the kernel source, it is affecting the development. I personally feel like cheated. It's like drawning a huge number of ROM enthusiast buyers to the product, and then betray them. It worries me even more because official Pie is releasing in February.
Why release the source in the first place if you're gonna encrypt the newer versions later? Plus, its a violation of GPL. What's next? Making Bootloader Unlocking impossible like Huawei / Honor did??
We are not asking much from Asus. We are not asking to fix bug or to add new features. We are just asking Asus to give what they gave in the first place, the very reason many of us bought this device. Asus, please do not encrypt the source, please make the source usable for the developers...
Thank you.
Asus should take action on these immediately. why released encryption when no use. they think we are blind users . common asus dont play games. as per ur statements in relese u should release then open source code. i think it whould bump to twitter and zentalk forum so they can see it as major issue. so twitter response is must and zentalk too. post these on zentalk too.
Well I Just Bought this Phone one month ago.. 11/11/2018 now i felt sad why asus whai u do this
Thn why even release encrypted one. Asus this is not acceptable.
Whats the point of source release like this.
WTH!! is wrong with ASUS , it shud not be like this ????
kecewa
3rd time using asus, and tweaking still not good.
They must release kernel source without encryption.
This sucks. I hope this will get enough highlight so that Asus will revert back to open releases of kernal source code.
Damn I didn't expect Asus will do that thing..
