Although there are certainly such freedivers too, I do not think it is typical case, but rather a very rare extreme. The problem at the majority is not the lapse of will to share the knowledge, but the inability to explain it. They cannot really explain it not because they learned it the hard way, and want you to go through it too, but rather because they learned it somehow intuitively without realizing how, or maybe figured it out after a lot of attempts and failures, but without really realizing what they did wrong and how they finally managed it.
This is true not only in freediving, but also in all other sports (and other activities) - that's why only very exceptionally an excellent sport champion becomes an excellent trainer. It is not because they are not willing to share their skills, but because having the skills is not sufficient for teaching them. You need to have a pedagogic gift, and the ability to observe, rationally analyze, interpret and explain the resulting facts.
