eMMC devices all run firmware, and that firmware almost always has secret vendor specific commands that allow you to take over.

Okay, I'm aware of that but more interesting is the question whether it is realistic to reverse engineer these commands.

If someone cares they *will* reverse engineer the commands. Sometimes the vendors themselves publish them even (firmware bugfix patches)
