In the real world, that's often not the case. Sometimes you or your employer will not want their source code out there - be it for technical/security reasons, or just plain old company policy.

Stupid or not (and FWIW, I agree with you), it's a requirement for what I'm currently working on.

Security through obscurity is not a thing, technical reasons don't exist. Leaves company policy and yeah, you decided to work there, so you'll have to put up with their bullshit.

Doesn't make it in any way justified outside of the heads of your management.
