Just because it's common practice doesn't give the legal community a valid excuse for doing it. It'll probably take a high-profile lawsuit to get the legal community to make their documents accessible.

And with his particular report, DOJ's Mueller Report, it's a public-facing document created by a federal agency so it's covered by Sec. 508. They are not above the law.
