Isn't it so that if these are really large funds they will say that it is impossible, and then leave the case for 1 year and then recover it by themselves?

Is this about unrecoverable passwords of wallet.dat or other wallet files that are already sent to a "company"?
And by saying "company that recycles wallets", you mean any password-recovery services?
[...]

I assume that, yes. Otherwise the second sentence would make little sense in this context!
Sending hashes is a very good idea, the only question is whether the recovery service would accept it. Classically, they collect a fee on the coins in the wallet, for example 20%:

The bottom line is that you actually have nothing to lose and in the best case you get access to your coins again. If you turn to a service that has a good reputation, then your situation can at least not get any worse.
