MP3 and AAC specifications (and reference software in source) are available and detailed enough to enable developers to write their own code. For these formats, there was certainly no need to disassemble binaries.
And regarding your "standard software hype" ... Premiere used to convert YUV to RGB before applying filters; advantage to AviSynth. Your mentioned site tells little without understanding the mathematical backgrounds of each implementation. Free software can use correct and precise implementations too. And be more user friendly at the same time by not chaining the user to a sadistic payment model.
