Nearly all manufacturers do not advertise/exhibit their product measurements? Why?

After my Audio Science Review review forum, it became apparent that nearly the only way one can determine the measurements of an audio product is wait for a review on line or in a publication.  Most equipment is never reviewed or is given a subjective analysis rather than a measurement oriented review.  One would think that manufacturers used tests and measurements to design and construct their products. 

Manufacturers routinely give the performance characteristics of their products as Specifications.  Those are not test measurements.

I searched the Revel speaker site for measurements of any of their speakers and could not find any.  Revels are universally lauded for their exceptional reviewed measurements.  Lack of published manufacturer measurements is true for nearly every speaker manufacturer I've searched for on line, perhaps several hundred.   Same is true for amps, pre-amps, DACs, transports, turntables, well you get the picture.  Do they have something to hide?   I doubt the good quality products have anything to hide but poor quality products do.  

ASR prides itself in providing "true" measurements that will aid in purchase decisions.   Why don't the manufacturers provide these measurements so that reviewers can test if they are truthful or not?

Then there are the cables and tweaks for which I suspect that there are inadequate tests available to measure sonically perceived differences but which objectivists believe don't exist or are "snake oil."  

Well, please chime in if you have some illuminating thoughts on the subject.   

I would have loved to see manufacturers measurements on my equipment and especially those that I rejected.

It's actually entertaining to witness this much redundant failure. Yes, your room measures well and that makes Amir and friends jealous. No machine can compensate for all the air or reflection points in a room. I don't care if it costs 100 grand... @kenjit seriously...how much is Amir paying you to stand up for him?

Recently, Amir reviewed an IEM (in ear monitor) and the results are absolutely shocking. Shall I post a detailed photo showing a comparison on my systems page so you can show your master?!

I have seen the review he did. Yes it was shockingly bad. But we only know this thanks to the Master. If not, the company would have got away with it. Be grateful

Why do you keep worshipping the ground on which Amir walks?

What on earth is wrong with you?

Seriously, how much did he pay you?

Even a beta-male simp loser has more self-respect than you. You have given up as a man and surrendered to some guy on the internet!! Hell, even though I’ve helped a lot of people in real life, they wouldn’t dare stand up for me the way you do for Amir. Although they are certainly grateful, they have their own sense of individuality and don’t yield to authority all that quickly.

I wasn’t asking you about if you saw that review or not. Now answer my question - Would you like me to post that detailed photo and explain where he went totally wrong?!

Of course you should. But you said you dont care about measurements, so how can you say where he went wrong? You are also not qualified like he is. I will have you know that he is a qualified engineer. Are you?
