Absolutely certain Boeing will NOT release those videos.
1) Boeing's competition would learn lots about the state of the art at Boeing. Not that they would be much impressed, btw, but learning how far B are lagging behind might be of interest for the rest of the world.
2) The sight of some pre-briefed trained-in-the-US pilots struggling with the machine, maybe making mistakes, and finally losing control of the aircraft might prove disturbing for the flying public, and the "wouldn't have happened here" people.
