But it seems they only revlealed some of the code and not the engine nor assets.

So compiling the code could be pretty difficult.

They released the engines for the games minus 3rd party libraries they didn't have rights to. Working builds were available within a day of the code being released as people found copies or wrote replacements for the missing code.
