Who cares. Comments could be interesting but AI can do this pretty well on most JS these days.
AI is still shit when it comes to obfuscated code. This is before it's all been obfuscated and become unreadable.
I've tried using AI to handle obfuscated scripts and it makes way too many assumptions as to what the code is trying to achieve.
My thoughts, exactly: Why is this a big deal? Imagine the positive press it would be if Apple came out and said, "We did that on purpose. More companies should be this open!"
The security impact of this: Zero (clients are already given the code)
The reputational impact: Could be great! Or could be bad if they play this the wrong way.
