Thanks so much I had not been tracking this case but it pissed me off to no end when I heard that Vizio was refusing to uphold the GPL. They are more than happy to greatly benefit from the labors of open source development but the second they have to do the smallest step in support of the GPL, they fight it. I doubt there is anything overly interesting that they could release. My mind is assuming they don’t want anyone to see the actual level of their data gathering.

I now want to become a kernel contributor just so that it would be possible for me to use the copyright excuse too

If I understand correctly, this applies to users, not just contributors. As a user of the software you are entitled to a copy of the source code.
