Is it because the guidelines have to be licensed/bought? Is it not allowed to make them public in any way? Does anyone know?

Licensing questions aside, one practical reason is because the MISRA
guidelines are not freely available, so it's basically impossible to
perform code reviews for such checkers unless you already own a copy
of MISRA. The rest of the community then has to take it on faith that
the check actually does what the MISRA rule says it should do because
they have no way to verify.
