Hoarding information is like hoarding any other resources.
Information is unlike any other resource, it can be shared without taking away from the giver.
Hording it is not about protection what you have, it’s about intentionally depriving others with no benefit to your self other than keeping up a power imbalance.
Reminds me of a nazi in Germany that had his friend hack of some of his fingers to blame it on radical leftists.
